Lymphocyte Overnight Culture parameters

... maximum number of cell cycles and eventually die. Furthermore, some cells undergo apoptosis for various other reasons, and these numbers vary from donor to donor and thus cannot be standardised as such. What I think you should do is to use the background signal from your control cultures (you need ...
