I am using counting beads to count cells, but I cannot find the beads on my scatter plots. What do I do?
The first thing to do is check your threshold and see if it is set on forward scatter. If so, the beads are probably being excluded by the threshold. Reducing the threshold setting should reveal your beads.
I want to count my cells using flow cytometry. How do I do this?
Cell counting using flow cytometry can be accomplished by adding an internal microsphere counting standard to the flow cytometric sample. The number of reference beads that are collected reflects a known volume. This allows you to calculate cell concentration.
Long-term remission of diabetes in NOD mice is induced by nondepleting anti-CD4 and anti-CD8 antibodies.

Residual ß-cells found at the time of clinical onset of type 1 diabetes are sufficient to control hyperglycemia if rescued from ongoing autoimmune destruction. The challenge, however, is to develop an immunotherapy that not only selectively suppresses the diabetogenic response and efficiently reverses diabetes, but also establishes long-term ß-cell-specific tolerance ...
