For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper?

Worth noting - in this population (median age around 54-55), discontinuation of first-line injectables, teriflunomide, and DMF after 5 years of stability led to substantially higher risk of disease activity. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Discontinuation of First-Line Disease-Modifying Therapy in Patients With Stable Multiple Sclerosis
This randomized clinical trial investigates whether first-line disease-modifying therapy can be safely discontinued in patients with long-term stable multiple sclerosis.
