RE: AO/PI viability

I was wondering if anyone uses these combinations of stains (acridine
orange/propidium iodide) to check viability of RBC containing samples using
flourescent microscopy.  I had used this combination in the past but was
wondering if anyone had any suggestions on the relative concentrations of
each of the dyes and any references in the literature to this method of
checking viability.  Your help as always, is greatly appreciated.
