Cell surface marker has tremendously increased the survival rate of patients suffering from a life-threatening disease
Cell surface marker technology has the capacity to be one of the most effective single therapeutic tools available for improving the quality of human life for individuals suffering from various diseases and disorders. Current methodologies used for the detection of cell surface protein markers are largely based on antibody binding and immunofluorescence, but there are several cell-surface proteins that are still unrevealed. The purpose of this article is to provide a brief introduction to this type of technology and the advantages it provides. Cell surface markers are proteins produced by the body itself in response to certain stimuli. The receptors are small proteins found on the surface of the cell. These receptors are responsible for interacting with other molecules in the cell and allowing signals from the outside world to pass through. In the past, cell surface markers were mainly used to determine whether an individual had a particular disease, such as the hepatitis B virus or H...
