CONTINUOUS FLOW CHAMBER DEVICE FOR SEPARATION, CONCENTRATION, AND/OR PURIFICATION OF CELLS

摘要

The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for cell separation. In particular, the invention relates to separation of a particular cell type from a mixture of different cell types based on the differential rolling property of the particular cell type on a substrate coated with molecules that exhibits adhesive property with the particular cell type. This technology is adaptable for use in implantable shunts and devices for cell trafficking or tumor neutralization.
