Figure Lengend Snippet: Quantitative analysis of G4 stabilization in FANCJ -KO cells by different G4 binders. ( A ) Immunofluorescence representative images showing BG4 foci in the indicated cell lines after treatment with PDS (500 nM), FIM (500 nM), and FIM-15 (250 nM) for 24 h. Scale bar, 5 μm. ( B ) Fold increase of the BG4 CTF, detected per nucleus in the indicated cell lines and conditions. The chart reports medians (lines), mean (cross), 50% (box), and 90% (whiskers) of the datasets and outliers (circles). A total of 100 cells were analysed per condition in three biological independent experiments. Statistical analyses were performed using a non-parametrical Mann–Whitney U -test. Calculated P -values were indicated as * P < .05; **** P < .0001.
Article Snippet: Recombinant 6xHis/3xFLAG-tagged BG4 was produced in Escherichia coli using pSANG10-3F-BG4 (Addgene; #55756) as follows: BL21(DE3) competent cells were transformed with pSANG10-3F plasmid expressing BG4 scFv anti-G4 antibody.
