Abstract
The present invention provides labeling and capture reagents that comprise phosphorothioate oligonucleotides (PS-ODN). The PS-ODN bind to all white blood cells (leukocytes) in an indiscriminative fashion and enable the labeling, capture, or concentration of leukocytes in a manner that preserves the antigenic integrity of the cells. Methods for the use of phosphorothioate oligonucleotides are provided.
