Kinetics of CTC cell influx and reduction.
Monitoring (A) CTC positively labelled (FL3>5 a.u.) cell fraction and (B) cell respiration index, ƒR as a function of CTC incubation time for free-floating (o), aggregated (♦) and adherent (•) cells. CTC reduction reported by FL3 intensity increase in CTC-labelled cells appears to be the limiting (slowest) step in the process.
