Jeff,

Take a look at these articles. Might be some help here:

Coffman, V.C. and J.Q. Wu, Counting protein molecules using quantitative fluorescence microscopy. Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2012. 37(11): p. 499-506.

McGuire, H., et al., Automating single subunit counting of membrane proteins in mammalian cells. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2012. 287(43): p. 35912-35921.
