Choosing the right fluorochrome - (Jul/23/2011 )
Dear All,
Greeting, I am targeting several genes in different pathways, upon targeting I'd like to check the differentiation in patients & two cell lines SKNO-1 and Kasumi-1 (AML- t(8;21)) through the following CD markers; CD14, CD11b, CD34 & CD45.
Could you please help me by choosing the right fluorochrome for every CD, taking into account two things the lower overlapping and a good brightness

Sorry I am new to flow cytometry and I'd like to make sure.
Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Although I'm not familiar with those two cell lines and it sounds like you are not also , based on the fact that CD14 and CD11b usually have a heterogeneous pattern of
staining I would use CD14 in FITC. CD11b in PE, CD45 in PerCP and CD34 in APC. Most AML,s are usually positive for CD34 and usually have a
nice cluster and CD45 is usually at a density dimmer than lymphocytes.
Thank you
