EOC13 microglial cells express P2X7. (a) RNA from EOC13 and J774 cells was amplified by RT-PCR using primers for P2X7. Water in place of RNA was included as a negative control in the PCR reaction. PCR products were separated and visualised with ethidium bromide staining. (b) EOC13 and J774 cell lysates were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose, and probed with an anti-P2X7 Ab. (c) EOC13 and J774 cells were labelled with an anti-P2X7 (solid line) or isotype control (shaded) mAb and then with APC-conjugated anti-IgG Ab and 7AAD (to exclude dead cells). Relative P2X7 expression (mean fluorescence intensity) was determined by flow cytometry. (d) Fixed and permeabilised EOC13 and J774 cells were labelled with an anti-P2X7 Ab and then with Cy3-conjugated anti-IgG Ab. P2X7 (top panels) and phase contrast (bottom panels) images were assessed by confocal microscopy. Bars represent 10 μ m. (a–d) Results are representative of 2-3 experiments.

PCR products were separated and visualised with ethidium bromide staining. (b) EOC13 and J774 cell lysates were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose, and probed with an anti-P2X7 Ab. (c) EOC13 and J774 cells were labelled with an anti-P2X7 (solid line) or isotype control (shaded) mAb and then with APC-conjugated anti-IgG Ab and 7AAD (to exclude dead cells). Relative P2X7 expression (mean fluorescence intensity) was determined by flow cytometry. (d) Fixed and permeabilised EOC13 and J774 cells were labelled with an anti-P2X7 Ab and then with Cy3-conjugated anti-IgG Ab. P2X7 (top panels) and phase contrast (bottom panels) images were assessed by confocal microscopy. Bars represent 10 μ m. (a–d) Results are representative of 2-3 experiments.
