Hello flow people, 

I have a question about autofluorescence that Iąd appreciate help with.
If you see a lot of autofluorescence in samples prepared for intracellular
staining (fixation, permeabilisation), is dye exclusion of dead cells a way
to try and solve this?

{ The experiment prep involves enzymatic digestion(with collagenase and
DNAse) and then percoll gradient of lung samples before intracellular
staining.}

Any help or advise and tips is much appreciated,
Joanna
