title: Natural killer cell conjugate assay using two-color flow cytometry.
abstract: This flow cytometry-based method is a quick way to detect adhesion of NK cells to target cells. The two cell types are labeled with distinct fluorescent dyes and following co-incubation, the number of NK cells firmly adhered to target cells is quantified using two-color flow cytometry.
