Method: Fluorescent mCherry-carrying colorectal cancer stem cells (CRCSCs) were expanded as spheroids in serum-free media and cocultured with either parental cancer cell-expressing Venus fluorescent protein or CFSE dye-stained immune cells (T cells, M1/M2 macrophages, neutrophils, and NK cells) or treated with EGFR- or PD-L1-targeting antibodies to assess the formation of CIC structures. This evidence concerns the gene EGFR and cancer.
