Sorting of cells from different cell cycle phases using surface antigen expression

Detailed procedures are presented for obtaining highly enriched human Daudi cell population in different cell cycle phases. This protocol allows harvest of enriched G1 or S-G2 phase cells based on the recognition of a cell surface marker antigen by anti-CD11a antibody and sorting. Sorted cells are able to cycle and a wave of synchronisation appears. Relative advantages of the method over chemically induced cell synchronisation are discussed.
