Dear Flowers,

I need to do some Brdu labelling of mouse blood. I ordered the
pharmingen kit but it is backordered and they say you can store
samples at -80C for long term freezing. So, what shall I do when I
receive the whole blood?
Shall I simply wash then freeze in DMSO until I am ready to do the
assay?
Can the assay be done on whole blood or do I need to ficoll or lyse
first?
If I need to ficoll or lyse first, do I do this first and then freeze the
sample or simply freeze the whole blood and after thawing do the
ficoll or
lysing procedure? Thanks in advance for your help.
