Abstract
Propidium iodide (PI) and diamidinophenylindol (DAPI) were compared with ethidium bromide (EB) in cytotoxicity tests. Double blind studies showed similar results with the 3 dyes in terms of percentages of dead (fluorescing) cells. The dyes were also investigated for their potential combination with the immunofluorescent membrane markers FITC and TRITC. Both EB-FITC and PI-FITC are suitable for conventional HLA-DR typing procedures. Because of its spectral properties, the DAPI-TRITC combination is promising for automated read out of DR-typing tests by image analysis systems.Entities:
