Traceless isolation of killer T cells via DNA aptamers
DNA aptamers that specifically bind to the T-cell marker CD8 and that can be displaced by a complementary oligonucleotide enable the isolation, at high purity and yield, of CD8+ T cells for CAR-T cell therapies.

The cover illustrates the isolation of CD8+ T cells by magnetic microbeads functionalized with DNA aptamers that specifically bind to the T-cell marker CD8 and and that can be displaced by a complementary oligonucleotide.
