Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are the primary entities responsible for spawning cancer metastasis. Detection of CTCs provides an indicator for the clinical diagnosis and prognosis of various types of cancers. Several approaches, based primarily on flowing the sample through antibody-coated magnetic-beads [1] or microchip [2, 3] surfaces have been described for isolating and counting CTCs. However, these approaches require extensive sample preparation and/or complex surface microstructures to detect the extremely low abundance of CTCs in blood.[3, 4] In this study we describe a immunomicromachine-based approach for an in-vitro isolation of cancer cells that holds promise for direct CTC detection without sample pre-processing.Recent progress in the field of man-made nanomachines,[5] particularly major advances in the power, efficiency, motion control and versatility of artificial nanomotors,[6] have opened the door to new and important biomedical applications, ranging from drug delivery [7] to biosensing.[8] Autonomously moving synthetic nanomotors have recently been employed for the pickup and transport of diverse payloads, mostly via magnetic or electrostatic interactions.[9] Extending the scope of chemically-powered nanomotors to physiological conditions represents a key challenge since such nanomotors are commonly incompatible with the high ionic strength environment of biological fluids. Catalytic rolled-up microtube rockets, propelled by the recoiling force of accumulated gas bubbles,[6a, 9d, e, 10] are particularly attractive for isolating and transporting cancer cells for downstream analysis as they possess the necessary towing force to carry large mammalian cells. Here we demonstrate that these microrockets overcome previous constraints to locomotion in biological fluids and are readily functionalized with an antibody specific for antigenic surface proteins expressed on cancer cells, such as anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (anti-CEA) monoclonal antibody (mAb).[11] CEA is used as a targeting antigen because it is one of the most common antigens among cancer cells, being over-expressed in approximately 95% of colorectal, gastric and pancreatic cancers.[12] Figure 1 conceptually illustrates the microrockets based pick-up and transport of cancer cells. The conjugation of the anti-CEA mAb to the outer gold surface of the microrockets is accomplished through carboxylterminated groups from a binary self-assembled monolayer (SAM) using standard EDC/NHS chemistry (see inset in Figure 1 and Experimental Section for details).
