Re: FC block in immunophenotyping of human leukocytes

Dear Parisa,

I am also interested in Fc receptor blockade and would appreciate hearing
what other investigators are using (besides Fab fragments and FcR specific
monoclonals).  I predominantly work with platelets and have found that some
monoclonals augment platelet activation via the FcR.
Thanks,
