Question on HEK-293 and aggregation

Dear colleagues,

I struggle with stable transfected HEK-293 cells. I need to compare the
expression level of a certain (transfected) receptor on these cells. I have
difficulties with the extended aggregation that take place during the
labeling procedure which affects mean fluorescence. Do you have any good
protocol to decrease the extent of aggregation, or at least standardize it.

Thanks for your help,

Best whishes,

Andras Boros


My protocol is :
Suspension of cells with EDTA containing D'PBS, wash and fixation for 20 min
in 4% PF.
Then labeling with primary antibody O/N, wash and labeling with
FITC-conjugated secondary antibody (2.5 h), wash and analysis with FACScan.
(LOG amplification of all parametrs)
