MeSH Heading: Immunomagnetic Separation
Tree Number(s): E02.095.437; E05.200.500.363.441; E05.242.363.441
Unique ID: D018189
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018189
Scope Note: A cell-separation technique where magnetizable microspheres or beads are first coated with monoclonal antibody, allowed to search and bind to target cells, and are then selectively removed when passed through a magnetic field. Among other applications, the technique is commonly used to remove tumor cells from the marrow (BONE MARROW PURGING) of patients who are to undergo autologous bone marrow transplantation.
