Cell Separation: Ethanol‐Dispersed Polymer Nanofibers as a Highly Selective Cell Isolation and Release Platform for CD4⁺ T Lymphocytes (Adv. Funct. Mater. 21/2012)

Electrospun and alcohol-dispersed polystyrene-poly(styreneco-maleic anhydride) (PS-PSMA) nanofibers, which allow for facile conjugation of antibodies, are used as an innovative cell isolation/enrichment and support/release platform. As reported by Kyung-Mi Lee, Jungbae Kim, and co-workers on page 4448, this work opens up the potential for an innovative immune cell therapy in which specific immune cells are isolated by antibody-conjugated nanofibers and are directly delivered to the target sites under the controlled and sustained release of immune cells via in vivo activation.
