Droplet Digital PCR Enables Measurement of Cancer Survival Immune Cell

At Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, researchers have used Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) to demonstrate for the first time the quantification of a special class of tumor-attacking immune cell known to improve cancer survival. It is a subpopulation of T-cells called tumor-infiltrating T-lymphocytes or TILs.
