Not sure if we need a more general term that would capture more broadly the enrichments that use magnetics and antibodies to sort cells rather than specifically 'EasySep' as I would want to use it for the enrichment method ontology
New term ID is EFO_0010175. Term will be available after the next release.
Preferred term label
EasySep cell separation (?)
Synonyms
?
Textual definition
Cells are targeted for either removal (negative selection and depletion) or selection (positive selection) using antibody complexes directed to specific cell surface antigens. The antibody complexes link targeted cells to EasySep™ magnetic particles. Labeled cells are pulled to the sides of the tube when the sample is placed in an EasySep™ magnet. Magnetically labeled cells will remain in the tube while the untouched cells can be simply poured or pipetted off into a new tube.
