Hello,
I am posting this from a colleague who is looking for a protocol for thawing
and disaggregating snap frozen tissue for cell sorting for expression
arrays. Any experience or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Bill

 Dear Bill

 Hope you are well. I am writing to you about the feasibility of using snap
frozen tissue for
separation of cellular subpopulations by flow using surface and viability
markers. Further to this, I was
wondering whether you could recommend/ supply a protocol for this purpose.
Having spoken with various bodies, there appears to be some controversy
whether cells remain intact adequately after snap freezing for use with
flow cytometry. What do you think ?

 Many thanks for you help

 Regards

 Annette Byrne
