Extended Data Fig. 6 ∣. Fluorescence imaging of bulk sialic acid on the cell surface of MCF-10A, MCF-7, and MDA-MB-231 cells.
(a) Representative cell fluorescent images of bulk sialic acid. These cells were metabolically labeled by Ac4ManNAz for 24 h, followed by incubation with DBCO-PEG4-biotin and Cy5-streptavidin for fluorescence imaging. Scale bars for cell image: 50 μm. (b) Bar plot of the mean fluorescent intensities, the data were calculated from 3 biological replicates. The plot is shown in mean ± SD. Unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-test determines the statistical significance as (*) p = 0.0352, (ns) p = 0.0793, n = 3 independent replicates.
