Alan,

Commonly HbA and HbF are "stained" with antibodies are available from Perkin
Elmer Wallac, Norton, OH & Caltag Laboratories, Burlingame, CA. The are
labeled with FITC and PE. Rhodamine tagged antibodies are described in the
literature, but I do not know if they are commercially available.

If possible, post a summary of your responses, as hemoglobin quenching of
fluorescence is a suspected confounding variable for the interpretation of
studies using FITC and PE.
