Arnold-
Lin neg is indeed a cocktail of antibodies which are markers for mature
hematopoeitic lineage cells. We use cocktails of them which are
biotinylated so that they can all be marked by one color like fitc or pe
depending on the choice for your stem cell markers.

What kind of stem cells will you be sorting? Bone marrow, fetal liver? The
panel might be different depending on what you are after also- myeloid,
lymphoid etc.

Check out Morrison et al from the Hertzenberg group at Stanford. I can
look up the reference tomorrow.
