Removal of lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus from human-in-mouse breast tumor xenografts by cell-sorting

► An efficient cell sorting approach to complete LDEV removal in a few hours. ► Minimal risk to compromise tumor phenotype. ► Suitable for primary tumors or human cancer stem cell-derived models. This approach is not only useful to remove LDEV, but more importantly, it can also be applied to remove other rodent-specific viruses from any models derived from distinct species or with sortable markers.
