Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The characterisation and quantification of cell-derived microparticles (MPs) using flow cytometry are often complicated by a low staining intensity and a non-discrete signal pattern of many cell surface antigens. Fluorescence-labelled isotype controls (ICs) are commonly used to set limits for the discrimination of antigen positive vs. negative events. OBJECTIVES: The influence of different ICs on the...
