ABSTRACT:
A method is presented to remove contaminating tumor cells from a cell population. The method includes labeling individual tumor cells in the population and then killing them with a high energy laser beam. The laser is focused so that it specifically kills the identified tumor cell, but not the remaining cells in the population.
