Abstract excerpt
We have developed a modified rhodamine (Rho) staining procedure to study uptake and efflux in murine hematopoietic stem cells. Distinct populations of Rho++ (bright), Rho+ (dull), and Rho- (negative) cells could be discriminated. Sorted Rho- cells were subjected to a second Rho staining procedure with the P-glycoprotein blocking agent verapamil (VP). Most cells became Rho positive [Rho-/Rho(VP)+ cells] and some...
