2. Isotypic controls:
Steve,

Thanks for your response to my question...

But, provided the stained cells are clearly brighter than the
nsb, does it really matter which isotype you attribute the signal to?
(ie/ In other words, can one not say of the "combined" isotype ctl
tube: This would be the MAXIMUM nsb and everything above that is
positive).
