Enhancing the sensitivity of assays to detect T cell reactivity: the effect of cell separation and cryopreservation media.

abstract：:Smaller, more charge-intensive electrodes are needed for "safe" stimulation of the nervous system. In this paper we review critical concepts and the state of the art in electrodes. Control of charge density and charge balance are essential to avoid tissue electrolysis. Chemical criteria for "safe" stimulation are revi...
