HepG2 cells were plated in a cell view cell culture dish (Greiner Bio-One North America, Inc., Monroe, NC, USA) at a density of 2.5 × 104 cells/compartment and incubated for 24 h. Next, the cells were exposed to NPs at a concentration of 50 μg ml–1 and incubated for an additional 24 h, after which the cells were washed twice to remove excess NPs and then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 10 min. Subsequently, the cells were blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA)/10% normal goat serum/0.3 M glycine in PBS for 1 h, followed by washing three times (5 min each). Immediately after washing, the cells were incubated with anti–Met hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR) antibody (1/100 dilution, EP1454Y, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) for 1 h at room temperature (RT) and then goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (1/200 dilution, DyLight® 488, ab96883, Abcam) in the dark for 1 h at RT. Both incubations were followed by washing three times (5 min each) with PBS. Confocal microscopy was performed using a confocal laser-scanning microscope (LSM510 META, Carl Zeiss Inc., Jena, Germany). All images were acquired using a 63 × 1.4 Plan-Apochromat oil immersion objective (Carl Zeiss).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To clarify the immunoglobulin class of specific antibodies to Strep A produced by plasma cells in the tonsils, double immunofluorescence staining was performed using biotinylated Strep A and DyLight 488‐labeled goat antibodies against human α‐chain, γ‐chain or μ‐chain (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). After a brief dip in running water, prefixed frozen sections of the tonsils were treated with TBS containing 5 μg/mL proteinase K at room temperature for 15 min. The sections were incubated with biotinylated Strep A (50 μg/mL) overnight at room temperature, followed by incubation with a mixture of Alexa Fluor 488 (red)‐labeled streptavidin (diluted 1:300; Molecular Probes) and DyLight 488 (green)‐labeled goat antibodies against human α‐chain (diluted 1:900); γ‐chain (diluted 1:300), or μ‐chain (diluted 1:300) at room temperature for 1 hr. The nuclei were stained blue with DAPI.
By examining consecutive sections, (i) the ratio of immunoglobulin classes to total plasma cells (the sum of IgA + IgG + IgM plasma cells) in the tonsils and (ii) the percentage of Strep A‐reactive plasma cells of the respective immunoglobulin class were evaluated.

DAOY cells were seeded in chamber slides (0,3 cm2/well; 5×103 cells/well) and at the indicated time intervals p.i. processed as previously described [47 (link)]. Rabbit anti-POLR1A (Abcam; 1:200) and chicken anti-NS3 (a kind gift from Dr. M. Bloom, NIAID, NIH; 1:5000) antibodies were used. As the secondary antibodies, anti-rabbit DyLight 594 (Abcam; 1:500) and anti-chicken DyLight 488 (Abcam; 1:500), were used. In the case of metabolic labelling of nascent RNA, the Click reaction was performed in situ before the blocking step. 10 μM Picolyl biotin azide was used for the detection of incorporated 5-EU. For subsequent fluorescent labelling, streptavidin conjugated with DyLight 549 was used (VectorLabs; 1:500). Slides were eventually mounted in Vectashield mounting medium (VectorLabs). The Olympus Fluoview FV10i confocal microscope was used for imaging and subsequent export of images was done in FV10-ASW software (v.1.7).

Immunophenotyping of Tumor Cells by FNAB

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A perCP/Cy5.5 conjugated EpCAM mouse anti-human monoclonal antibody (VU-1D9, abcam) and a FITC conjugated CD44 mouse anti-human (clone G44-26, BD pharmingenTM) and their respective isotype controls, mouse IgG1 monoclonal MOPC-21 (perCP/Cy5.5, abcam) and Dnk pAb to Ms IgG (Dylight®488, abcam) were diluted with RPMI media to a working solution 1:200. FNAB tumor samples were loaded into nine separate channels. The antibody solution containing both the EpCAM and CD44 was perfused into three channels. The isotype control antibodies, used to evaluate for nonspecific binding, were perfused into three other channels. The last three channels contained media only to serve as background auto-fluorescence controls for tissue. One channel was not needed and therefore not used for this experiment. A flow rate of 125 μL/hr was used for all channels. Fluorescent imaging was performed by a Zeiss Axio ObserverZ.1/ApoTome.2 inverted scope using a 378HE Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) filter (excitation: 450-490nm /emission: 500-550nm) and a 45 Texas Red (TR) filter (emission: 540-580/excitation: 593-668nm) over a 24-hour period.
