Re: PKH - immunostain issues?

Hi Andy

We have used fluorescent antibodies to differentiation antigens on
haemopoeitic cells that are PKH26 labelled and all worked well. There
was no need to modify the antibody reaction protocol. No idea about
frozen tissues though.

Hope this helps

Best wishes

Ian

Would anyone care to comment on incompatibilities that may arise
between 
PKH staining and surface immunostaining for flow (other than usual 
conflicts in fluorochrome selection).	For example does PKH have any 
affects on subsequent antibody binding and therefore modify antibody 
concentrations or incubation times/temp, etc?  
Related to this, if anyone has done concurrent PKH staining and 
immunostaining of frozen tissues (with or without a permeablization 
step) I would also welcome advice. 

Thanks so much!
Andy
