I am having trouble with an assay for phagocytosis in which I would like to
examine fluorescence of ingested FITC-labelled bacteria by macrophages.
In order to do this, I must quench the FITC outside of the macrophages to
distinguish between extra- and intracellular fluorecence. I've
tried crystal violet and trypan blue, but with no success. Any suggestions?
