IL-6 signalling results in a dose-dependent heterogeneous STAT3 activation. a, b MEF wt cells c, d MEF ΔEx3 cells e, f MEF ΔEx3 + SHP2 cells were stimulated with increasing amounts of Hy-IL-6 for 15 min. STAT3 expression and phosphorylation were evaluated by intracellular multiplex flow cytometry using specific fluorescent antibodies against STAT3 (A, C, E) and STAT3-Y705 phosphorylation (B, D, F). Representative histograms of n = 3 independent experiments per cell line are shown. Maximal mean fluorescence was normalised to 100%. Log10 normalised data points are given as boxplots with median and IQR (box). For better visualisation, only ~ 5% of all data points (n = 1000) per concentration from 3 independent experiments were randomly selected for display
