Abstract:
Host microbe interactions frequently involve specific cellular tropism. Accurate characterization of cells involved in these initial interactions is complicated by the response to the microbe. We describe a method utilizing RNAlater for Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting of these critical cells that minimizes the downstream perturbation in the gene expression profile.
