Conducting experiments on isolated cells allows scientists to confidently answer specific research questions by minimizing interference from other cell types within the sample. Isolated cells have many applications within life science research, allowing scientists to: Conduct molecular analysis of a single cell type, including RNA expression and epigenetic analysis Genetically modify and expand a particular cell type of interest for disease modelling or cell therapy research applications (e.g. T cell therapy research) Directly use purified cells for adoptive cell transfer experiments in various animal models Increase sensitivity of analytical methods (e.g. cell isolation for HLA analysis, cell isolation for FISH analysis) Study the in vitro effects of drug candidates on specific cell populations (e.g. hematotoxicity testing) Fuse enriched plasma cells with myeloma cells to produce hybridomas
