Abstract
We developed a new method for evaluation of the purity of cell population in primary cultures of hepatocellular carcinoma. Expression of potential surface molecular markers on primary cultures of renal tumors was assayed by the method of flow cytofluorometry. CD24 and CD70 were identified as differential markers, which allowed us to distinguish cancer cells from tumor stromal cells in vitro. A negative marker CD90 was expressed on fibroblasts of the tumor stroma, but not on cancer cells. Combined use of these three markers allows evaluation of the severity of tumor culture contamination with stromal cells.
