ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for identification, sorting and enrichment of cells. In particular, the present invention provides compositions and methods for quantitation of cell motility by measurement of individual cell motility, and rapid isolation of cell populations, using fluorescent signal within single cells. Such compositions and methods find use in clinical, therapeutic and research settings.
