Abstract:
One aspect of the present invention relates to an array of non-adhesive cells, comprising a polymeric substrate, an array of a graft copolymer bound to the polymeric substrate, an antibody bound to the polymeric substrate in an area of the polymeric substrate not covered by the graft copolymer, and a non-adhesive cell bound to the antibody. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of preparing an array of non-adhesive cells, comprising depositing an array of a graft copolymer upon a polymeric substrate; binding an antibody to an area of the polymeric substrate not covered by the graft copolymer; and binding a non-adhesive cell to the antibody.
