We are observing something very wierd about CY5 fluorescence. It seems
that the surface labelling of an receptor with a biotinylated peptide with
secondary avidin CY5 is the right fluorescence wavelengths, but when the
whole receptor (we think) is internalized, the fluorescence
characteristics of CY5 change, the fluorescence appears in the same
excitation and emission filters as CY3. Anyone else ever observe this?
We are not doing flow, but using confocal microscopy.
Thanks
