Dear all again,
first many thanks about the help with my question about hla typing from a
small blood sample. My question is realy related to your response.
Esentially it seems very difficult to do a tissue typing on a small blood
sample. The work around for me would be, that I do not do the surface
staining on fresh blood. However I have to freze or store than the PBMCs,
until the tissue lab has done the typing (`7 days).

Does anyone know a procedure which allows to freze cells from 300 microl
EDTA blood without doing a ficoll gradient ?

many thanks
