Hi Everybody,

We recently started doing intracellular
staining for cytokines on a FACScan with CellQuest
and are trying to resolve three issues.

1) We see substantial IL-2 and IFN-g positive
   cells.  Is there a rational, operator-independent
   way of setting the markers so that the number of
   positives can be identified?  Is there  software
   that will do this?

2) There are a few IL-4 positives and I am not sure that
   I want to trust those low percentages?  Is there a
   better way to detect Th2 cells?

3) Does anybody have experience staining for TNF-beta (or alpha)
   or IL-10?


Thanks in advance for any feedback.
