Dear Tulips,

I am interested in finding a standard method or protocol in the handling of
unfixed HIV. Does anyone else sort live HIV+ cells? What safety precautions
do you take. The machine is a FACSCalibur, and is in a PC3 containment lab.
I understand this is an enclosed flow cell and system, with very little
chance of aerosol formation, but? I would be glad if someone gave some
comments for comparison.
Fanx in advance
