UC Davis biomedical engineer Prof. Alexander Revzin has developed a 'lab on a chip' device for HIV testing. Revzin's microfluidic device uses antibodies to 'capture' white blood cells called T cells that are affected by HIV. In addition to physically binding these cells the test detects the types and levels of inflammatory proteins (cytokines) released by the cells...
