I am starting immunophenotyping these cells and I am concerned about damaging surface antigens using trypsin; however, trypsin is the only procedure that is working in my hands right now: other methods I tried: EDTA and a Cell dissociation buffer (Enzime free, PBS based) from Gibco; these last two methods were not succesful since the cells formed very tight clumps which did not come out with filtering methods, and lots of the cells died. So I am using trypsin at a low concentration ( 0.05%), and let the cells stand in medium with serum for one hour to let them recover from the trypsinization process. Do you have a detailed procedure for this, with particular emphasis on (1) trypsin-EDTA concentration (2) time left between trypsinization and recovery of any damaged surface antigen until FACS analysis. Any thoughts are welcomed Thank you in advance. Marcela
