Tuesday,Jul 14,2009 Source: Dr. Simon Dawson, Department oPlatelet-associated Ig (PAIg) could be eluted from the platelets. As a result of this procedure platelets get destroyed and the eluted Ig is formed of platelet surface-bound Ig and , mainly, of internal pools of Ig (from a-granules). That is why the caution must be taken when interpreting results.

Tuesday,Jul 14,2009 Source: Viral Immunity & PathogenesisCMFDA (5-chloromethylfluorescein diacetate) is a lipophilic tracer that has an enormous advantage over ordinary tracers (e.g. FITC) because it can be introduced into live (!) cells. Once inside the cell this dye undergo some covalent changes restricting from its passgae to extracellular milieu
