Figure 6

Examples of different cell types found in the peripheral blood of triple-negative breast cancer patients. (a) Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of representative triple-negative breast cancer patients shown in low- and high-magnification confocal microscopy immunofluorescent images stained with cytokeratin (CK) antibody (green), CD45 antibody (red), epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) (white) and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; blue). To assist in the identification of different cell types, based on staining pattern, we added arrows of different color according to the key provided. (b) High-magnification confocal images from a patient peripheral blood sample highlighting the different staining combinations observed.
