Radiation response of cancer stem-like cells from established human cell lines after sorting for surface markers.

PURPOSE: A subpopulation of cancer stem-like cells (CSLC) is hypothesized to exist in different cancer cell lines and to mediate radioresistance in solid tumors. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Cells were stained for CSLC markers and sorted (fluorescence-activated cell sorter/magnetic beads) to compare foci...
