Preferred Label : immunomagnetic separation;
MeSH definition : 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.;
MeSH synonym : immunomagnetic separations; separations, immunomagnetic cell; immunomagnetic cell separations; cell separation, immunomagnetic; purgings, immunomagnetic; purging, immunomagnetic; separation, immunomagnetic; separation, immunomagnetic cell; separations, immunomagnetic; immunomagnetic cell separation; cell separations, immunomagnetic; immunomagnetic bead technique; bead technique, immunomagnetic; bead techniques, immunomagnetic; immunomagnetic bead techniques; immunomagnetic purging; immunomagnetic purgings;
