Abstract
This invention relates to a method for selecting and/or for qualitative and/or quantitative detection of predetermined biological cells from or in a sample containing biological cells, the sample being mixed with a predetermined combination of at least two antibodies and/or antibody derivatives, which bind preferentially with their binding sites to different epitopes of the cells to be selected or detected, and/or with at least one biospecific antibody and/or antibody derivative, which binds preferentially with its two binding sites to different epitopes of the cells to be selected or detected, which are separated from the sample with cells marked with at least one of the antibodies and/or antibody derivatives, and the separated cells being tested with a predetermined combination of at least two molecular-biological detection reagents, the at least two detection reagents reacting preferentially with at least one component of the cells to be selected or detected.
