The Dye is called Cy3 (no s) and is relatively new. could be that it was
not on the market in 1993.
Check out there Web-Site:
http://www.amersham.co.uk/Architext/AT-Lifequery.html
and search for Cy3.
You'll get 10-20 Crossreferences in their catalogue
Antibodies coupled to Different Cy-Dyes are also available at Jackson
Immuno Research Labs.

To my knowlegde: none
Hope it helps, Greetings
