Dear Dr. Kierulf,

we use a flow cytometric approach

t, also available by
http://www.orpegen.com/
By using specific chemokines specific cells migrate through the membrane.

Aggregation may be due to the freezing-thawing process (no nitrogen in the
tube?). We use like many others 95% FBS, 5%DMSO and a simple freezing box
from Nalgene.  Thawing (dilute tube content into 50 ml warm medium) and
washing must be quick, dead cells liberate the very sticky DNA.
