Hi ,
I have developed a myoblast culture for cellular cardiomyoplasty. The cells are contaminated with fibroblast from the fascia. All the community use CD56 as a myoblast positive marker but in my flow cytometry's experiments with this antibody, my negative control with dermal fibroblast resulted positive for CD56 too.
Please help me!!

Try the serum free medium from GIBCO.
