Abstract

Cultured mammalian cells are used extensively in cell biology studies. It requires a number of special skills in order to be able to preserve the structure, function, behavior, and biology of the cells in culture. This video describes the basic skills required to freeze and store cells and how to recover frozen stocks.

Protocol

The complete text protocol for this experimental approach is available in Current Protocols in Cell Biology.
