After 48 h of treatment with NSP‐B at varying lower doses (0.1, 0.5, 1, 2.5, and 5 µM), cells were fixed and permeabilized using the BD Cytofix/Cytoperm plus fixation and permeabilization solution kit. Anti‐active Caspase‐3‐BV605 and PARP Cleaved Form‐AF700 antibodies were used to stain 0.3 × 106 cells in HBS Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) for 30 min. The cells were resuspended in the same solution after being rinsed once more with HBS. Flow cytometry using a BD LSR Fortessa analyzer was used to determine the percentage of cells with activated caspase‐3 and cleaved PARP (Iskandarani et al., 2016 (link)).
