Isolation of lymphs from murine liver

Does anyone have a few helpful techniques for high recovery of lymphs from
mouse liver?

Currently, a perfused liver is mashed through a sieve then treated
enzymatically with collagenase IV and DNAse(both for 15 min.). The
homogenate is then centrifuged slowly to remove the large particulants. A
Percoll gradient is then used to isolate the lymphs. Unfortunately, the
yield and purity are too low for flow cytometry analysis.

Any suggestions?
