Cancer stem cell frequencies in PDA subpopulations.

Limiting dilution assay was performed with sorted NY15 cells injected subcutaneously in NOD/SCID mice. The resultant numbers of tumors/injection is tabulated with estimated cancer stem cell frequencies calculated by extreme limiting dilution analysis (ELDA).
