Another solution would be to suspect some quenching going on. Energy transfere between the blue emitting hoechst and the blue/green excited Pyronin, but I would not have thought they are that close enough and the spectra do not match that well. Do you perhaps get a signal processing artefarct? Regards Gerhard -----Original Message----- From: Plett, Paul A.

The two suggestions relating to a sub G0G1 peak with hoechst and Pyronin staining were the MDR and the p-gp pumps that may be pumping out the Hoechst. This brings up more questions however, that I would like to throw out into flowland (flow-country sounds more serene :) 1. We use Verapamil in all the staining steps and also while running the samples. 2. We do not see the sub G0/G1 when we stain with hoechst alone, only when double staining with hoechst and pyronin. Any ideas? thanks artur
