Abstract

four-leaf-clover-shaped Immune system natural killer cell Optoelectronic tweezers poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate Single cell
To study the immune system, the natural killer (NK) cell and target cell needs to contact for cell-cell interaction. Therefore, an optoelectronic tweezers (OET) complex optofluidic and four-leaf-clover-shaped (FLCS) microwells, multilayered platform was designed and fabricated to increase interaction. In this study, a novel method uses OET to attract immune cell into the dead zone. The proposed design creates a dynamic observation area with slower flow velocity enabling precise capture of immune cell into the microwells without harm, matching the simulation. Through a simple method, the preliminary data of NK cell and target cell interaction is obtained within 4 hours.
