Abstract
This unit describes an extrinsic staining protocol using the amine?reactive CBQCA dye to measure the amount of protein on the surface of a microsphere. This approach is novel in that it allows microspheres bearing proteins without known binding partners to be accurately quantified on a flow cytometer.
