Exosome uptake by macrophages was examined as previously reported [8 (link)]. Differently treated OSCC cells were fixed, permeabilized and blocked as previously reported [15 (link)]. Then, the cells were incubated with anti-phospho-Stat3 (Y705) antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, USA) overnight at 4 °C followed by secondary antibody (Life, USA). Cellular nuclei were stained with DAPI (Roche, USA). Fluorescently labelled OSCC cells were examined using a ZEISS fluorescent imaging microscope (ZEISS, German).
