Article Snippet: For F-actin staining, the chondrocytes were incubated with SF488-labeled phalloidin for 30 min. For cell immunofluorescence, after fixation, permeabilization, and blocking with 10% goat serum, cells were incubated with primary antibody for Zmpste24 (NB100-2387, Novus) or Lamin A/C (4777, CST) overnight at 4°C.
