Dr. Barton,

We've used Annexin V conjugated to phycoerythrin (PE), along with 7-amino-
actinomycin D (7-AAD) as a viability marker. Both fluorochromes are com-
patible with a 488 nm excitation source and EGFP. I believe we used the
"Annexin V : PE Apoptosis Detection Kit I", Cat. No. 559762, from BD
Pharmingen -- which includes Annexin V-PE, 7-AAD, and Annexin V binding
buffer -- but these reagents may be available from other vendors.

Good luck,
Eric
