Does it have a dye on it? If it is labeled with most dyes (except
phycobiliproteins) then trypan blue is an almost universal quencher of
external antibodies (especially fluorescein and Alexa Fluor 488) but not
internalized fluorescent antibodies. Useful trick for answering
"inside-outside" questions.
