Hi,
I need to learn well technique of intracellular staining of PBMC on flow cytometry in order to make sure that later, when I do not see protein of my interest, the reason is that this protein is not expressed by the cell not because I am not able to make the procedure the correct way. But, I do not know what primary antibody, against what protein to buy and use. What intracellular protein I shall use to train detection by FCM to be 100% positive it is always expressed in PBMC...?
Thank you!

What positive control for intracellular staining?

When people need to ensure their cells are properly permeabilized and in good condition, they'll sometimes use an antibody to F-Actin, which is present in all cells. If the F-Actin staining is always positive then at least you know that the cells are properly permeabilized and that your buffers are working properly. This could serve as a positive control.
