title: Isolation of viable cells in canine transmissible sarcoma (CTS) using density gradient centrifugation.
abstract: Density gradient centrifugation using Ficoll-Conray solution was attempted to isolate viable canine transmissible sarcoma (CTS) cells. The viability of isolated tumor cells increased from about 50% to > 90%, and the yield of CTS cells was > 50% with over 99% purity, in when an isolation solution density of 1.05 was used.
