Thanks, Calman, for the subtley found in your rejoinder; FACS is a brand name, the CS represents cell sorting which few folks do, and the technology is flow cytometry. -----Original Message----- From: Calman Prussin [mailto:CPRUSSIN@niaid.nih.gov] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 7:46 AM To: cyto-inbox Subject: RE: intracellular IL-5 vs IL-4 Try a Pubmed search using "flow cytometry" rather than FACS, there are many papers. We have worked extensively with anti- human IL-5 ICS. See Prussin C. and D.D. Metcalfe. 1995. Detection of intracytoplasmic cytokine using flow cytometry and directly conjugated anti-cytokine antibodies. J Immunol Methods 188: 117-128. or Elsen L., T. Nutman, D.D. Metcalfe and C. Prussin. 1995. Flow cytometric analysis for cytokine production identifies Th1, Th2, and Th0 cells within the human CD4+ CD27- lymphocyte subpopulation. J Immunol 154:4294-4301. I wonder if others have tried this with similar negative results? Has anyone found higher IL-5 than IL-4 by FACS? I would appreciate any comments or references. Stan
