Hi,

I have a question about FACSing epithelial cells.
I cultivate epithelial cells from human thymus in MEM with 10 % FCS 
and I would like to look at them with FACS. As these cells are very 
adhesive, I have to use Trypsin to get them off the plates. This is 
probably the reason why the cells get very sticky and cannot be 
measured by FACS properly because of multi-cell aggregates. Therefore 
the cells cannot be sorted as well. 
My question is whether anybody has experience with FACSing epithelial 
cells and removing them from the plates without getting sticky.
Thank you in advance
Sincerely
Steffi Gutsche
