I'm trying to study survival of cells under heatshock stress and I want to use YOYO-1 to look at the amount of cells dying. I'm finding that YOYO-1 is not picking up dying cells as properly as it does under 37 degrees.
I tried to look it up online but does anyone have experience using YOYO-1 dye or even CAS3/7 to look at dying cells in heatshock? Is the dye even stable at that temp? (I'm adding these dyes while the cells are incubated at 42 degrees).
