METHODS FOR THE SELECTION, SEPARATION AND FUSION OF CELLS

摘要

2117070 9305166 PCTABS00020 Methods are described for the separation of cells of different types using dielectrophoresis; for the electrochemical selection of cells by the dielectrophoretic attraction of ligand bearing cells into contact with an electrode bearing a complimentary ligand; and for the fusion of an individually isolated cell with another cell or a vector using dielectrophoresis to manipulate the cells or the cell and the vector into juxtaposition so that they may be fused.
