METHOD OF DETECTING CIRCULATING TUMOR CELLS AND CIRCULATING TUMOR STEM-LIKE CELLS USING SURFACE-ENHANCED RAMAN SCATTERING (SERS) AND SYSTEM USING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of detecting circulating tumor stem-like cells and circulating tumor cells using a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanotag; and a system using the same. According to the present invention, it has been confirmed that circulating tumor stem-like cells and circulating tumor cells are able to effectively be detected when a blood sample labeled with the SERS nanotag is applied to a microfluid chip and spectral analysis is performed by Raman spectroscopy. As such, the method and system of the present invention is able to usefully be used in the field of cancer therapy in which detection of circulating tumor stem-like cells and circulating tumor cells are required.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2017
