ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a process for identifying and enriching cell-specific target structures, in particular for the identification of cell-specific protein combination patterns on the surface of cells and for enriching such cells. The process comprises depositing a heterogeneous cell mixture one or plural surfaces with predefined structures causing cells with corresponding target structures to become bound to such surface(s), removing any non-binding cells of said cell mixture from said surface, identifying the cell-specific target structures responsible for the binding of the cells to said surface(s), selecting and enriching cells with identical cell-specific target structures on said surface(s), and biochemically characterizing the target structures.
