The VAR2CSA malaria protein efficiently retrieves circulating tumor cells in an EpCAM-independent manner

The VAR2CSA malaria protein efficiently retrieves circulating tumor cells in an EpCAM-independent manner

Isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) allows for non-invasive disease monitoring and characterization. Here the authors describe an alternative CTC isolation method based on the ability of the malaria rVAR2 protein to specifically bind oncofetal chondroitin sulfate, which is expressed by all c...
