==Overview==

Cryopreserving PBMC allows for phenotyping or functional studies to be preformed at a future time for convenience or efficiency, but cryopreservation adversely affects the survival and function of leukocyte populations differentially and the user should make themselves aware of the literature on this.

This protocol has been adapted from the URECA study of the Inner City Asthma Consortium
