A Practical Cryopreservation and Staining Protocol for Immunophenotyping in Population Studies

Abstract excerpt

Large population-based cohort studies, through their prospective collection of a broad range of health information, represent an invaluable resource for novel insights into the pathogenesis of human diseases. Collection and cryopreservation of viable cells from blood samples is becoming increasingly common in large cohorts as these cells are a valuable resource for immunophenotyping and functional studies.
