Hi all,

We would like to stain human PBL for simultaneous dual color surface 
markers, and IFN gamma intracellular expression, using a coulter 
epics profile 2. We would like to quantitate IFN -G production by 
memory T cells and CD4/8 subsets in this way. Most of the commercial 
mca to surface markers will be FITC/PE combinations, does anyone know 
of any available IFN-gamma MCA conjugated to a third fluorochrome 
which could be used in these experiments? I understand that for I.C. 
work PE should be used, not FITC, but this won't work as PE-conjugated 
MCA will be used for surface marker as indicated.
Any advice?

Thanks,

Stan.
