You're close to some REAL experts on Flow Cytometry and cell surface
immunofluorescence - why not visit someone in the Herzenberg lab / FACS
development group (in the basement of CMGM) and show them your plots?
Aaron Kantor may still be around... We could give advice and recommend
chapters/books, but it's still good to see the raw data - i.e., to
