I have been working with BDs FastImmune anti-IFNg and anti-IL-4
antibodies for about 2 months (but only with normal controls) and have
been very pleased with the results. I have been following BD's protocol
and have had success with each experiment. I have used both the
IFNg/IL-4 combo with the isotype combo and individual reagents with
success. Although BD sells a special formulation of IgG1 PE, I have been
titering their standard formulation and think it will work nearly as well
as a control for IL-4 PE.

I have not tried using saponin for permeablization but will be comparing
BD's FACSPerm to Caltag's Fix N' Perm.

If you would like more details, please email me directly.
