Hello Flow People, Many moons ago I talked with someone about the efflux of Hoechst 33342 in hematopoetic stem cells because of P-glycoprotein and problems with measuring cell cycle. I cannot remember for the life of me who I talked with. Now, I would like to measure cell cycle in a multicolor system using UV on murine thymic precursor cells. Is anyone using a pgp inhibitor for these kinds of assays? Verapamil? Cyclosporin A? or some other pump inhibitor to keep the HO in the cells for the assay? I know the absence of the HO may be the way to go but I would like to see who is proliferating. Thanks for any advice.
