Purification and analysis of a distinct cell type depend on the MedChemExpress DprE1-IN-2 previous isolation of a particular cell subpopulation from a Finafloxacin site heterogeneous cell mixture. 23977191 Cell separation methods rely on distinctive properties of the target cells, including size, density, behavior or surface charge [1]. Gradient centrifugation, centrifugal elutriation, filtration and electrophoresis are widely used to achieve selective sorting based on physical differences between the cells in suspension [1]. Another usual approach consists in inhibiting key metabolic pathways required for cell growth or survival, such as blocking DNA synthesis (e.g. with hydroxyurea) or serum deprivation for a specific amount of time, to arrest the cell cycle at a particular stage, possibly eliminating unwanted cells [2]. Separation of the cells according to surface markers is of particular interest to provide highly purified populations, especially via immunolabeling of a cluster of differentiation (CD) with a fluorophore or a magnetic bead for Fluorescent Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) [3] and magnetic separation [4], respectively.Specific isolation of the cells of interest using antibodies immobilized on a solid surface has been exploited in Cell-Affinity Chromatography (CAC) devices [5?] and protein arrays [10?4]. Affinity-based cell capture performed in miniaturized devices has been recently reported, including parallel functionalized microfluidic channels [15,16] and single microchannels containing several antibody-coated regions [17,18], antibody-covered micropillars [19,20] or an antibody-coated porous membrane [21]. Shear flow is commonly employed to detach cells having low affinity with the antibody-coated surface, thus enriching cell subpopulations from initially heterogeneous cell mixtures [22?4]. Shear stress exerted on antibody-coated solid surfaces was also used to quantify cell adhesion [25]. Additionally, individual cells were specifically arrayed in an antibody-coated microwell array for the rapid optical characterization of cellular phenotypes [26]. Cell separation approaches are commonly combined to purify the target cell type, e.g. specific antibody-mediated aggregation of erythrocytes around the cells to form rosettes which are thenCell Capture by Bio-Functionalized Microporesseparated by centrifugation [27,28], cell cycle arrest followed by centrifugation [2] or CAC followed by electrokinetic separation [16]. It is also standard to quantify success or failure of cell sorting using flow cytometry [3] or the resistive-pulse technique (Coulter counter) [15,16,29]. An extreme case of cell separation is the capture of scarce or very rare cells [30,31], e.g. circulating tumor cells, fetal cells in the mother’s blood, stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells.
