Dr. Haugland,

I already have plans for the mouse Zenon. I would also be interested in
Zenon for rabbit antibodies. How about Zenon for human antibodies?

Dr. Haugland,

I for one would love to be able to use your Zenon reagents with rabbit
antibodies.  Although I agree that I don't use them as often, sometimes the
only the Ab available is raised in rabbit.  And then my choices of fluor are
limited by the available secondaries.  Normally, to get the color I want I
have to do a three step stain!	Rabbit primary (unlabeled), biotinylated
secondary, SA-fluor tertiary.  I've used the Zenon reagents frequently since
they came out and it would be great to have them available for other
non-mouse Abs.	This is becoming more of an issue now that we are starting
to routinely do 5+ color experiments.  (We actually have several 8-color
experiments on the drawing board.)   The Zenon reagents are a great
alternative to custom conjugations!

How common is it to use rabbit primary antibodies in flow cytometry
(versus mouse antibodies). I suspect very uncommon. We are trying to
determine whether it would be useful to test our Zenon antibody labeling
method in flow or only imaging and blots.

thanks
