To monitor the proportion of the population expressing EP and/or GPEET procyclins, flow cytometry was performed as described previously [19 (link),20 (link)]. The primary antibodies were anti-EP (mouse monoclonal TBRP1/247, Cedarlane Laboratories, Burlington, Canada) and anti-GPEET (rabbit polyclonal K1) [79 (link)] and the secondary antibodies were Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit (Invitrogen, Eugene, Oregon, USA) and Cy3-conjugated goat anti-mouse (Jackson ImmunoResearch). Antibody dilutions are mentioned in S3 Table. Fluorescence of 20,000 cells was measured using a Novocyte flow cytometer system (ACEA Biosciences, Inc., San Diego, USA).
