Expression data comparing PLC8024 CD133+ and CD133- HCC cells

To identify candidate genes involved in enhanced tumorigenicity of CD133+ liver tumor-initiating cells Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus GeneChip 2.0 HCC cell line PLC8024 was sorted into CD133+ and CD133- populations by flow cytometry为了鉴定参与CD133阳性肝脏肿瘤起始细胞增强致瘤性的候选基因，研究人员以肝细胞癌（Hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC）细胞系PLC8024为研究对象，通过流式细胞术将其分选为CD133阳性（CD133+）与CD133阴性（CD133-）两个细胞群体，并采用昂飞（Affymetrix）人类基因组U133 Plus基因芯片2.0开展相关基因检测分析。
