Figure Lengend Snippet: a CD38 & CD31 expression in MM.1S-GFP-CBR-WT cells. CD38 (left column): Immunocytochemistry analysis of CD38 expression in MM.1S-CBR-GFP cells with the CD38 1° antibody followed by the AlexaFluor 647 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody. Nuclei were counter stained with Hoechst 33,342. The sections were imaged with GFP filter pair (410/520) for endogenous GFP expression, Cy5 (620/705) for CD38 with AlexaFlour 647-conjugated secondary antibody, and Hoechst 33,342 (370/405) to stain nuclei. CD31 (right column): Immunohistochemistry analysis of CD31 expression in MM.1S-CBR-GFP cells with CD31 antibody followed with AlexaFluor 647 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody. Nuclei were counter-stained with Hoechst 33,342. The sections were imaged with GFP filter pair (410/520) to visualize endogenous GFP expression, Cy5 (620/705) for CD31 expression with AlexaFlour 647-conjugated secondary antibody, Hoechst 33,342 (370/405) to stain nuclei; b Characterization of the disseminated MM.1S-CBR-GFP-WT tumor model. In vivo BLI showing presence of disseminated MM.1S-CBR-GFP-WT in both femurs and tibia at 5 weeks after tumor implantation; c MM.1S-CBR-GFP-WT tumor burden additionally evidenced in the femur via GFP intracellular expression seen with epifluorescence microscopy of unstained femur section, scale bar – 20 µm; d Histological assessment of the femur with H&E staining shown at 10x, 20x, 40 × at scale of 200 µm, 100 µm, 20 µm, respectively.
Article Snippet: Nonspecific binding was blocked by incubating cells with 1% BSA, 0.1% Tween 20 in DPBS for 30 min. After overnight incubation at 4 °C with anti-CD38 mouse polyclonal antibody (# PA5-95,840, Invitrogen, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, 1:100 dilution) or anti-CD31 mouse monoclonal antibody (JC/70A #MA5-13,188, Invitrogen, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, 1:50 dilution), cells were washed and incubated for 1 h at room temperature with Alexa Fluor 594- or 647-conjugated secondary goat anti-mouse IgG1 (cross-adsorbed, # A-21240, Invitrogen, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, 1:50 dilution) or F(ab')2-goat anti-rabbit IgG (H + L) (cross adsorbed, # A48285, Invitrogen, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, 1:100 dilution).
