Hello everyone,
I'm looking at phagocytosis and oxidative burst in porcine neutrophils.
I plan on performing a simultaneous assay using FITC-zymosan and
hydroethidium, and will be processing lots of samples by flow cytometry.
I would like to fix the cells in PFA after phagocytosis - will fixation
affect the resulting flourescence of EtBr produced during the oxidative
burst?
Thanks
Aleta
