The invention provides a biochemical method for visualizing cellular organelles (such as centrosome) and/or cytoskeletons (such as microtubules) through the use of crystallizing agents (such as tetrazolium salts), a kit containing crystallizing agents adapted for such uses, and to methods particularly for detecting neoplastic cells in a tissue sample, suspension, or a fluid sample by examining the cells for abnormalities of cellular organelles (such as centrosome) and/or cytoskeletons (such as microtubules) in the number and shapes.
本发明提供了一种通过使用结晶剂(如
四唑盐)观察细胞器(如中心体)和/或细胞骨架(如微管)的生化方法,一种含有适用于这种用途的结晶剂的试剂盒、以及通过检查细胞中细胞器(如中心体)和/或细胞骨架(如微管)的数量和形状是否异常来检测组织样品、悬浮液或液体样品中肿瘤细胞的方法。
