A novel approach for evaluating the expression of PD-L1 on circulating tumour cells (CTCs)
Send your whole blood samples to our laboratory.
We use ANGLE’s Parsortix technology to isolate and enrich epithelial, mesenchymal, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) CTCs.
We harvest, enumerate and characterise the CTCs using our Portrait PD-L1 test.
You receive a detailed report of your results.

Representative staining of a CTC cluster from a lung cancer patient
Mesenchymal CTCs isolated using Parsortix technology from a lung cancer patient and stained with the Portrait Flex assay with additional PD-L1 marker. CTCs show PD-L1 expression (purple = mesenchymal markers, green= epithelial markers, orange = PD-L 1, blue = nucleus, and red = blood lineage markers (white in merged image)).
Ask how else we can help you
ANGLE’s clinical laboratory offers a suite of complementary CTC enrichment and analysis solutions to enhance your cancer therapy clinical studies.
For example, why not consider adding DNA Damage Response (DDR) assessment in CTCs to your Portrait PD-L1 service?
