Immunoisolate
Immunoisolate (/ɪˌmjuːnoʊˈaɪsəleɪt/), derived from the prefix 'immuno-' relating to immunity or the immune system, and the verb 'isolate', meaning to set apart or separate.
Immunoisolate is a term used in medical science and biotechnology to refer to the process of isolating a specific cell, tissue, or molecule from a complex mixture using the principles of immunology. This is typically achieved through the use of antibodies that bind specifically to the target of interest, allowing it to be separated from other components.
