Dear flowers
 
I wondered if you can help....
 
I want to purchase three (ideally four) highly cross adsorbed secondary
antibodies recognising goat, rabbit and mouse with conjugates such that
I can correlate data that I obtain on a FACS Calibur with a Zeiss
axioplan microscope (mercury short arc lamp).
I would like at least one of the combinations (mouse and the rabbit
preferably) conjugates to FRET.
 
Our (current) filter sets on the FACS are 
FL1; 530/30 BP
FL2; 585/42 BP
FL3; 670LP
FL4; 661/16BP
 
Our Zeiss microscope filter sets are
 
1.    Zeiss Filter set 10 : Ex 450-490: dichroic 510 Em: 515-565
2.    Zeiss Filter set 37 : Ex 450/50BP: 480FT: Em: 510/50
 
3. Zeiss Filter set 15 : Ex 546/12BP: 580FT: Em: 590LP
 
I could buy another one/(two) filter sets (to give us four colours) to
give us channels on the microscope equating to FL3 and FL4.
 
I'm trying to figure this out myself but I could really use some
expertise....
Can any of you clever people suggest some appropriate conjugate
combinations or even antibodies?
 
Many thanks
Nicola
