Julie, You do not say what you want to stain with this , but
for most mouse tissue my question would be why do you want to use CD45
with APC? The usual method for selecting a fluorochrome is to put the
lowest epitope density together with the brightest Fluorochrome and vice
versa, For most mouse work that means CD45-FITC which leaves the other
three or more colours for the brighter dyes.

( You see Carlton, I do pay attention in class.)
