Abstract

Functional assays using reporter cell assays are described which probe the activity of at least one cell of interest. The ability to probe at least one cell is provided by using the microfluidic methods, devices and kits described herein. Assays combining both reporter cell signaling as well as binding assay signaling for at least one cell is also described herein.
