  1. U937 cells underwent a freezing - thawing cycle as described in Materials and Methods. Overnight after thawing the multi-parametric analysis was performed and four parameters were elicited for each single cell. The cell subgroups were defined as described in Multi-parametric analysis following the freezing - thawing cycle in the i3C section. Values are average ± SD in individual cells' subgroups. The percentage of each subgroup from the total population in a representative experiment is shown in brackets.
