Figure 2.
Cellular localization of B23 splicing variants. HeLa cells grown on coverslips were transfected with pEGFPC1-hB23.1 (upper panels) or -hB23.2 (bottom panels). Thirty hours after transfection, cells on coverslips were fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde (first column) or were treated with 0.5% Triton X-10 0 followed by fixation with 3% paraformaldehyde (second column). Triton X-100–treated cells were further digested with DNase I (third column) or RNase A (fourth column) followed by extraction with 0.25 M ammonium sulfate before fixation with paraformaldehyde. DNA stained with Hoechst 33258 (blue) and GFP-tagged proteins (green) were visualized under a fluorescent microscope. The bar at the right bottom indicates 10 μm.
