title: Immunomagnetic cell separation.
abstract: In metastasis research, it may sometimes be necessary to separate populations of tumor cells from a mixed cell population such as a tumor, peripheral blood, or bone marrow. In addition, the normal counterparts of populations of tumor cells can be separated to allow direct comparisons to be made (1).In recent years magnetic bead separation techniques have become increasingly popular for these purposes.
