Cryopreserved PBMCs are a common specimen source for studies of immunological responses to vaccines, immunotherapies, etc. The health and viability of cells recovered post-cryopreservation are of course critical to the success and accuracy of immunological assays performed on them. This protocol standardizes PBMC isolation and cryopreservation techniques, specifically for the assessment of thawed cells by cytokine flow cytometry. - [Read Protocol for Isolation, Cryopreservation, and Thawing of PBMCs]

Category: Plant Biology Protocols: Arabidopsis Transformation Protocols

Protocol for a simplified Arabidopsis transformation. Found that the MS salts, hormone, etc. make no difference, that OD of bacteria doesn't make much of a difference, that vacuum doesn't even make much of a difference as long as you have a decent amount of surfactant present. Plant health is still a major factor - healthy fecund plants make a big difference! With this method you should be able to achieve transformation rates above 1%. - [Read Simple Arabidopsis Transformation Protocol]
