Hello, everyone!

I would like to screen blood samples for circulating mast cells by flow
cytometry. I believe that with certain malignancies the number of mast
cells in circulation may increase. Do any of you already have a protocol
for uniquely identifying mast cells (either monoclonals or other cellular
markers)?
Thanks in advance.
