FIG. 2.
The molecular beacon for ALPL was tested in MG-63 (A, positive control) and HEK-293 (B, negative control) cells to ensure functionality and specificity. Fluorescence signals were observed throughout the MG-63 cells, while no signals were observed in HEK-293 cells. Color enhanced for presentation purposes. Scale bars: 100 μm. Insets show phase contrast image of sample. Color images available online at www.liebertpub.com/tea
