Ultrapure water (18.2 MΩ
cm, ELGA Water purification system, Purelab Ultra MK 2, UK) was used
for all dilutions and washing steps. A multi-element stock solution
and single element standard solutions were purchased from Labkings
(Hilversum, The Netherlands). Bovine serum albumin (lyophilized powder,
BioReagent), Tris buffered saline (BioUltra), Triton X-100 (for molecular
biology), m-xylene (anhydrous, ≥99%), and ethanol (absolute,
EMSURE) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany). The
target retrieval solution was bought from Agilent Technologies (Waldbronn,
Germany). Paraformaldehyde aqueous solution (Electron Microscopy grade,
16%) was obtained from Science Services (Munich, Germany) in form
of sealed ampoules, to ensure fresh solutions in each staining procedure.
The metal-conjugated antibodies used in this study (Table S3) and the Intercalator-Ir (Cell-ID, 125 μM)
were purchased from Fluidigm (San Francisco, CA, USA). LA-ICP-TOFMS
measurements were carried out in an ISO class 7 clean room. All cell
culture media and reagents were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Vienna,
Austria) and all plastic dishes, plates, and flasks from StarLab (Hamburg,
