Tips for Flow Cytometry Success

To perform intracellular flow cytometry, fixation and permeabilization of cells is required to allow for antibody penetration and subsequent binding to targets without disrupting cellular morphology.

Below we discuss several key factors, which will ensure successful experimental design particularly when studying post-translational modifications (PTMs).

Fixation and permeabilization methods

Simultaneous detection of intra- and extra-cellular targets

Basal post-translational modifications
