Adipocyte surface markers

Hello Flow-ers,

I was wondering if anyone had any experience looking at adipocytes,
specifically the 3T3-L1 cell line, on a flow cytometer.  Are these cells
particularly difficult to prepare and maintain in a single cell suspension
for cell sorting? Are there any cell surface markers which are useful for
phenotyping these cells?  Are there any markers which appear or disappear as
the cell differentiates?  I am looking for some marker(s) that I could
monitor and use as an assay for differentiation of the 3T3-L1 cell line.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
