I am trying to see the expression level of a receptor protein. I used PE as my isotype control. In some articles they used the formula given below.
RFI = 10 × (3.5 × mean channel of antigen fluorescence / number of channels) –10 × (3.5 × mean channel of isotype control fluorescence / number of channels)
What is the number of channels?
Is there any other ways to do it?
