  Good morning Flow-ers !


Just  a quick query on single cell suspension prep for Flow: Am about to try
making cell suspensions from tumor and aortic tissue for Flow with
fluorescent membrane antibodies. My question is whether it's better to
mechanically disaggregate tissue or enzymatically (collagenase etc). Does
enzymatic tretatment have any negative effect on cell surface antigens ?

Many thanks as always,

Annette
