Hello Everyone,

Occasionally, I have to thaw some PBMC's for Flow.  They are frozen in DMSO
in 1 mL aliquots.  The thawing procedure is as described on the instruction
sheet that comes with the DMSO.  I am wondering what kind of yeilds people
get when thawing PBMC's.  Is it normal to recover only 50% of the cells?
These are rhesus PBMC's and are infected with HIV/SIV/SHIV.

I would appreciate any information anyone could share.

Thank you very much
