Hi.

I am doing flow cytometry of endometrial cells (read epithelial and fibroblast). The antibodies I need to use are both intracellular. In the same time I want to get only life cells.

Thus I am using the fixable life/dead reagent before do the permeabilization, to filter only live cells of my samples.

however when I read on flow cytometry, right after the permeabilization all my life population disappear.

I am attaching two pictures, One before, and other right after the permeabilization. You can see there is no life cells to gate it.

Do you guys know any explanation for it?

Thanks
