Dear All
Has anyone out ther any experience with PE-conjugated antibodies in
confocal microscopy ? I'm trying to double label cells (using FITC
secondary antibodies) and monoclonal coupled to PE. As far as I
understand, PE absorbs at both 488 and 565, emitting at 578. So, in
principle one should be able to discriminate FITC and PE based on
their different emissions, which I can discrminate at the microscope
eyepiece. However, at the detector level (on a BioRad 1024) the
signal obtained using excitation at 488 or 568 and emission at 578
are quite the same.
If anyone has had success using PE-labeled antibodies in
double-labeling exepriments on confocal microscopy, please contact
me directly.
Thanks
.
