12 h
>either with monensin (unstimulated) or with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA),

I do not mind people mentioning their own products, as long as they give
some useful information as well. In my opinion the above message does not
contain enough detailed information. Concentrations and sources of reagents,
and methodology are omitted. I urge the moderators of this cytometry list
not to include these COMMERCIAL MESSAGES!
