Abstract:
We develop a simple and sensitive method for multiplex detection of lung cancer cells at the single-molecule level, with a detection limit of 15 cells per mL for A549 cells and 4 cells per mL for H23 cells, without the involvement of any sequence-based amplification. This method holds great potential for further application in early clinical diagnosis, especially for the detection of rare tumor cells.
