Hi!  I am a new user of the FACS Calibur.  I am looking into using flow to 
replace the 51Cr release CTL assay.  Has anyone used the LIVE/DEAD 
Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity Kit (L-7010) from Molecular Probes.  I am not 
sure if the green flourescent label for the membrane, DIOC18 
(3,3'-dioctadecyoloxacarbocyanine) which has a emission maximum of 501 nm 
will be detected optimally (excitation wavelength if 484nm) on the FACS 
calibur.  If not, does anyone has a suggestion or know of a kit that will 
allow me to detect lysis of target cell versus effector cells.

Thank you so much for your help and I look forward to your suggestions and 
recommendations.


Sincerely,
