Re: Freezing whole blood/bone marrow

Dear All,
I have read with interest the correspondence regarding freezing whole blood rather than Ficoll separated MNCs for subseqent flow analysis. Following this I have several queries.

1. Has anyone got experience with freezing whole bone marrow and its subsequent analysis after thawing, especially at diagnosis of acute leukaemia? Does the immunophenotype remain stable? I have a similar problem to Dr Stan Ress in that I am receiving samples but am awaiting a delivery of antibodies.

2. I am having difficulty obtaining the quoted 'Cytometry' reference - Fiebig et al 1997, 29, 340-350. Does anyone know if this journal is kept anywhere in the area of Birmingham, UK? Alternatively, can anyone send or e-mail me a copy? (isaac.lawson@btinternet.com)

Thanks for your help.
