Hi everyone,


  A few months ago, I had asked a question about eosinophils on this
newsgroup.  I was trying to distinguish eosinophils from neutrophils.  I
want to thnak everyone who answered.  Your suggestyions were very helpful.
Here's a synopsis:

   Clone gr-1 (Ly6-G) from Pharmingen/BD stains both eosinophils and
neutrophils.   Eos are high side scatter PBMC's, you can differentiate them
from Neutrophils with the clone 7/4 from
Biosource. However, keep in mind that 7/4 works only on some strains of
mice (like C57BL/6) and not on others (like Balb/c).
  Another researcher says that you can also use a combination  of MAC1 and
F480.  The eosinophils are MAC 1 dim and F480 bright. Howvere, can someone
tell me whast F480 is against, and where can I get it from?
