Sorting B-cells/Hybridoma

Hi,

I am new at sorting, and I would be interested in the response from anyone
who has sorted murine B-cells for the production of hybridomas.  My thoughts
are to sort unstained B-cells from stained non B-cells.  Were there benefits
in preparing hybridomas from sorted B-cells compared with preparing
hybridomas from unsorted spleen cells?  If there were benefits, was there a
viability problem with B-cells sorted in sterile PBS?  Were the B-cells kept
cold during the sort?  If you were using a FACStarPLUS, what recovery was
obtained?  How long did it take to sort the cells?

Thanks in advance.
