Hello everyone. First, a newbie dye-chemistry question: is the emission for Rhodamine 123 similar to PE or FITC or PerCP? Assuming the basic FACScalibur laser configuration ( I don't remember the wavelenghts). I tried to resolve monocytes using a perCP cd4 antibody. In "unstimulated" (as in background level of activation) PBMC's CD4 can resolve between lymphocytes and monocytes b/c of level of expression. I know there are more efficient ways of doing this 4ex. CD14 and CD33. But in this experiment (oxidative burst assay) I was not able to detect the FL3 signal at all! It was suggested thereafter that CD4 gets dropped during activation and that could be my problem. Has anyone tried adding a PerCP marker to the burst test to enhance gating? I would apprieciate any suggestions. Maciej ===== `---------------------------------------------` | Maciej S.
