Subject: Questions about "Life on Ice" (#9837)

My thanks to Mr. Skrecky for this posting.  I have been a subscriber to
cryonet for more than 3 years and this was one of the more interesting 
post I have read.  It brought up many questions in my mind (whatever that
is :) ) about current freezing procedures.  I know different
cryoprotectants are used but do any contain anything like this
nucleating protein that is mentioned?  Next, at what temperature does full
washout and perfusion normally take place?  It seems like that a
temperature close to but just above 0C is best. 

I may be way behind but if any of the information in this acticle is new
it seems that it would have a big impact on current procedures.
