Hello,
I have a collegue who wants to use DSred2 expression system under CMV 
promoter. He is going to use DSred2 based vector for retroviral packaging to 
detect an efficient packaging cell clones. 
If you have successfully used DSred2 fluorescence system (BD/Clonetech) with 
either calibur or Aria based FACS analysis, could you please give us the 
details of what excitations laser as well as emission filters you used? 
Product insert says that it can be excited with 488nm blue laser, but 
looking at its excitation peak, it seems unlikely to be shining at 488. What 
emission filters? I searched the purdue list and there were some suggestions 
to use PE filters. Is that true, any success? How about 588nm band pass 
filter that we use for PI? 
Also, there are some suggestions with respect to peak times after 
transfection (that it matures late? and that is is gree to start with?), any 
thoughts on the timings after transfections that you had success with?
your experience could save us lot of time standardizing this system, so any 
input is appreciated.
