[Helpful advice for plasmid rescue deleted]

Ah, this assumes that it is a *plasmid* clone!  What if it was a cell clone?
(yes, I know that this newsgroup is molbio but....).  Having once lost
monoclonal antibody secreting hybridoma lines through liquid nitrogen
freezer failure I can sympathise on that front.  I also read an article
some time ago that it was possible to harvest the genomic DNA from such
dead hybridoma lines rescue the clone.  I don't know if this was intended
for antibody production in bacteria/baculo etc. or if the genes were moved
to another cell but the whole idea sounded neat.
	Hopefully it was a nice easy plasmid that could be rescued...
			Good luck!
