BT-549 cells were stained as described.9 (link) Briefly, cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and were incubated with 0.1% Triton X-100 at room temperature for 10 min. The samples were blocked with 3% Normal Goat Serum (Gibco), incubated with anti-MICA (PA5-35346, 1:20 dilution; Thermo Fisher Scientific) or anti-MICB (NBP2-56506, 0.9 μg/mL; Novus Biologicals, Centennial, Colorado, USA) at 4°C overnight and incubated with goat antirabbit IgG H and L labeled with Alexa Fluor 488 (Abcam). Invitrogen ProLong Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI (Invitrogen) was used to stain the nuclei. The cells were analyzed by a Leica THUNDER Imager 3D Cell Culture microscope as described.9 (link)
