Cell separation on plates using non-antibody ligands.

摘要

Plates, rather than particulate material, are utilized to separate cells into various categories depending upon whether the cells contain receptors that bind to non-antibody ligands, such as histamine. This method comprises coating a plate surface with ligand complexes, which comprise ligands bound to carrier molecules. The coated plates are contacted with cells, and the unbound cells are removed by force which does not remove all bound cells.
