Hi everybody, 

I am trying to use DeltaVision environmental chamber 40X, time lapse  to figure out localization of my  EYFR-tagged protein. I did it once.
When I  fixed cells , endogenous protein predominantly  is in the nucleus and also in cytoplasm, but sometimes only in cytoplasm.
EGFP-tagged also shows the same pattern. I thought that transition could depend on stage of cells, particularly mitosis.
I am going to include DIC imaging. I also want to add DNA dye for the living cells. What would be the best choice? Or are there any other dyes to track different stages of cells?
I am using transiently transfected HPV epithelial cells which divided once in 4 days. Probably I need some synchronization before or after transfection. What  would be a better choice.
Also I found that media evaporated rather quickly in the chamber making media ingredients more concentrated. Any advice regarding that issue?
Thank you very much for any advise.

Olga
