Fluorescent location of lung tumour cells.
Cells were collected on glass slides by touching tumour surfaces (A) and normal regions (B) of the lung. The slides were stained with a nuclear stain and a fluorescent probe for a tumour associated cell surface protein. The (B) slides from the normal regions lacked fluorescent epithelial cells. The tumour slides (A) contained typical tumour cells and dyskaryotic cells which exhibited cell surface fluorescence.
