BIODEGRADABLE LAYER-BY-LAYER (LBL) FILMS FOR CELL CAPTURE AND RELEASE

摘要

Compositions and methods for providing devices comprised of a substrate and a Layer-By-Layer (LBL) film coated on at least a surface of the substrate, which LBL film comprises binding agents that specifically interact with cells. Such devices are useful, for example, in various cell isolation applications. Among other advantages, such devices permit isolation and release (e.g., via layer degradation) of cells under mild conditions.
