I am interested in characterizing surface markers related to epithelial/mesenchymal differentiation to characterize EMT via flow cytometry. The issue is that trypsin destroys the binding capacity of most antibodies for E-cadherin and N-cadherin. I am aware of using EDTA to dissociate cells, however, my cells are strongly adherent. Are there any other means of dissociating cells that I am not aware of? Alternatively, can anyone recommend antibody clones that have epitopes which persist following trypsinization?
