RNA Extraction from fixed sorted cells ?

Hello,

I would like to know the special tricks to use, if one sorts fixed human
cells for RNA / DNA / Protein extraction afterwards. I think because of
fixation (which has to be done for security reasons), there could be a
problem of RNA degradation etc... Do you add RNAse, DNAase or Protein
inhibitors to the samples ?

I know that this subject was probably already on the subject list, but I
don't have good access to the archives (from Europe it's quite slow).. so I
would still be interested in getting some hints.

thank you very much,

Matthias
