Cells were cultured for 48 hours on glass coverslips in 6-well plate and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 10 min at room temperature, followed by permeabilization with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 min at room temperature, incubation with primary antibody for one hour, wash with 1% Triton X-100, and incubation with Alexa Fluor-conjugated secondary antibodies for one hour in the dark. The coverslips were stained with Hoechst 33342 (H3570, Invitrogen, 1:3000) before being mounted with VECTASHIELD mounting medium (H-1000, Vector laboratories). Images were captured by Leica TCS-NT 4D confocal microscope. Z stacks were collected with a spacing of 1 μm. Antibody and dilutions used in the studies: anti-Flag (14793S, Cell signaling, 1:100), anti-Lamin B1 (68591S, Cell signaling, 1:100), anti-STAT3 (MA1–13042, Thermo Fisher Scientific, 1:100). Alexa Fluor 488 Goat anti-Rabbit (A11008, Life technologies, 1:5000), Alexa Fluor 594 Goat anti-Mouse (A11032, Life technologies, 1:5000). The fluorescence-intensity profile along the Z-axis from confocal Z-stacks were shown. The fluorescence intensity of nuclear localized STAT3 was quantified using the confocal software to define the selected ROI (Region of Interest) area based on nuclear DAPI signal. More than 200 cells were quantified in at least three independent experiments.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
