Subject: [Histonet] stain living cells - what dye doesn't kill the
cells?

Dear Histonetters,

Does anyone know of a dye/stain (fluorescent or non-fluorescent) that
does
not kill cells? I want to do some live-imaging of live primary mast
cells,
but be able to distinguish them from other cells in a certain mix. So I
need
to stain them- but not affect there viability/function.
I know that this isnt exactly the forum for this question, but I'm
hoping to
get some suggestions anyway.
Many thanks,
Moran
