Dear (Flowers) I had a request from a colleague from Dublin about equine cord blood. Is there anybody out there that could help? If you can, could you please answer back to Margaret directly? (margaret.goggin@protectashealth.com) Thanks a lot in advance Mara We process Equine cord blood and whole blood, storing the buffy coat, which we hope contains stem cells/lymphocytes. The foaling season is now over and we are trying to run tests on out samples to make sure we have the target cells in these samples. Can you point me in the right direction to fine markers we can use for flow cytometry and FACS analysis? So far the only checks we have carried out are counts and viability using standard techniques with Trypan blue.
