From: HERV-K activation is strictly required to sustain CD133+ melanoma cells with stemness features
Cloned TVM-A12-CD133+ cells show adaptive plasticity similar to the parental TVM-A12 melanoma cells. a Sorting of CD133+ subpopulation from TVM-A12 cells by flow cytometry-based side population technique. b Phase contrast microscopy image of adherent cells (left panel) and grape-like cellular aggregates (right panel) of TVM-A12-CD133+ in RPMI-1640 and X-VIVO medium, respectively: magnification 10x. c Flow cytometry analysis of CD133 expression of adherent (left panel) and non-adherent (right panel) TVM-A12-CD133+ cells. Data represent the results of three independent experiments
