Flow Gurus...

	Just a quick question regarding cytoplasmic staining: Do
commercial preps such as BD's Cytofix/Cytoperm and Caltag's Fix and
Perm also permiabilize the nuclear membrane? I'm interested in
staining for a protein typically located within the nucleus which
relocates to the cytoplasm when its cell is infected with an
intra-cellular pathogen, so I need the nuclear membrane to remain
intact to prevent false-positive signals. Any suggestions appreciated.
