I'm all ears. (Or should I write "eyes" since this is EMail?) The primary
reason that I subscribed to this list last week was to add to my
sophistication in measuring apoptosis using FACS analysis. (Starting from
pretty close to the ground floor.)

Does anyone have any suggestions as far as reliable assays are concerned?
Any suggestions for basic references regarding the use of FACS for studying
apoptosis? Any pitfalls?

Thanks,
