title: Recent patents of nanodevices for single cell immunological assays.
abstract: This review focuses on recent patents for the design and implementation of nanodevices to isolate and characterize single immune cells. Specifically, the most common categories of single cell assays were reviewed and new strategies were suggested to expand the capabilities of nanodevices further for the study of human immune disease.
