dear Flow gurus,
 Being a bit of a ninny w.r.t flowcytometry ,need some
help. I am trying to look at up/down regulation of
certain surface markers in transiently trasfected
eGFP+ cells (FACScalibur).I use class-I staining (on
FITC on the same cells) for setting FITC/PE
compensations , the problem is that the eGFP+ cells
(but not the FITC+ controls) look like theyve been
over compensated, everything goes and sticks to the
axis. the proportion of GFP+s cells is so low that i
am not sure i shd rely on them to actually set
compensations..one would expect FITC and GFP to behave
similarly wudnt one?

Please enlighten
rama
