Fluid Flow Device Containing Nanotubes and Method for Cell Trafficking Using Same

摘要

The present invention relates to device and method for cell trafficking. In particular, the invention relates to a fluid flow device in which the flow surface has nanotubes immobilized thereon. The nanotubes have molecules on their outer surface, which support cell rolling. Also provided is a method for separation of a cell type from a mixture of different cell types or from a fluid based on the differential rolling property of the cell type on the flow surface.
