Hi Liza, 
Have a look at this:
J Immunol. 1995 May 1;154(9):4294-301.		
Flow cytometric analysis for cytokine production identifies T helper 1, T
helper 2, and T helper 0 cells within the human CD4+CD27- lymphocyte
subpopulation.
Elson LH, Nutman TB, Metcalfe DD, Prussin C.
They describe a protocol for cryopreservation.
good luck
Mara

Subject: Intrarcellular staining on thawed lymphocytes


Hi flowers,
Does anyone have experience with evaluating intracellular staining on thawed
human lymphocytes?   We currently stain fresh cells with Perforin but would
like to be able to save the specimens received for future evaluation by
cryopreserving them and later on thawing them and staining with Perforin or
other cytokines.
Is this achievable?  What kind of problems can we expect? 
Has anyone done any recovery analysis, post thaw, to identify any obvious
loss of cell surface epitopes? We will be staining with a couple of cell
surface markers in addition to the intracellular staining.
I appreciate any and all suggestions, information, guidance.
Thank you for your help.
