Allergen Arrays: Click-Chemistry Based Allergen Arrays Generated by Polymer Pen Lithography for Mast Cell Activation Studies (Small 38/2016)

Microfluidic encapsulated allergen arrays are created by M. Hirtz and co-workers on page 5330 using polymer pen lithography (PPL). These arrays are utilized in mast cell activation studies on a single cell level. The overall setup enables easy handling of cell suspension, incubation, and read-out by fluorescence microscopy, allowing immune cell activation screening to be easily adapted for diagnostics and biomedical research.
