Re: [Histonet] Demonstration of antigen on cell surface - question?
Sharon,
I know a group that uses confocal but do not know it very well myself. Can you give me a more detailed explanation of why confocal would be useful ... and suggestion for cell surface markers that can be used?
Thank you very much.

you co-stain with a cell surface marker.
