HeLa cells with endogenous tagging with fluorescent proteins of β-tubulin (mClover3), histone H1 (mTagBFP2), and p62-SQSTM1 (mRuby3) were developed with CRISPR and the FAST-HDR vector system, and were recently described [17 (link)]. These cells are commercially available from ExpressCells, Inc. A clonal cell line was derived by single cell sorting with the Hana Single Cell Sorter Instrument (Namocell) using the green fluorescent channel and sorting into a 96 well plate. Single cell clones were analyzed with a Spark Cyto plate reader (Tecan) using whole-well imaging for selecting clones derived from a single cell. A clone with uniform and bright β-tubulin fluorescence was selected to expand a cell line for this study.
