Gold nanoparticle-based rapid detection and isolation of cells using ligand-receptor chemistry

Abstract Identification and isolation of low-frequency cells of interest from a heterogeneous cell mixture is an important aspect of many diagnostic applications (including enumeration of circulating tumor cells) and is integral to various assays in (cancer) biology. Current techniques typically req...
