See the paper "Sheils, et al; 1996. Actin mediates DNA fiber formation in
chronic inflammatory airway disease and in vitro: actin depolymerization
dissolves DNA bundles. Am J. Path.148:919-927." We stained DNA and actin
filaments in CF and chronic bronchitus sputum using YoYo-1 and rhodamine
phalloidin. As for the other components, I'm not aware of specific lipid
or glycoprotein dyes. Good luck.
