Immunofluorescence of stress granule markers in HEK293 cells and patient brain. DAPI visualizes nuclei. Single confocal planes were taken. Scale bar depicts 20 μm. (A) Co-localization of poly-GR/PR with the stress granule marker G3BP1 in HEK293 cells co-transfected with RFP-STAU1 or RFP control and DPR-GFP or GFP control. Left three columns show individual channels as indicated. The fourth columns show merge with additional nuclear DAPI staining in white. Arrows indicate cytoplasmic inclusions co-labeled with G3BP1. (B) Immunofluorescence of frontal cortex of a C9orf72 patient and a healthy control case to analyze co-localization of poly-GR with stress granule components TIAR, G3BP2, YBX1, and STAU2. Arrows indicate poly-GR aggregates.
