CellTrace Violet™ is a commonly used fluorescent dye used with flow cytometry to identify cell proliferation. Activated equine lymphocytes were examined using flow cytometry, microscopy and tritiated thymidine proliferation assays. CellTrace Violet™ was incorporated into the equine lymphocytes effectively. Equine lymphocytes proliferated when activated with pokeweed mitogen, but did not proliferate when previously stained with CellTrace Violet™. Serial dilutions of CellTrace Violet™ did not eliminate the inhibition of activated lymphocytes. Equine lymphocyte viability was greater than 90 % for both stained and unstained cells. Based on these data, CellTrace Violet™ is not recommended for the assessment of lymphocyte proliferation in equine cells. The mechanism of inhibition of equine lymphocyte proliferation by CellTrace Violet™ is unknown.
