Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) From left to right, the first three panels are representative images of the autofluorescence on glass under the respective conditions: after piranha etching, with PEG, and PEG plus NaBH4 treatment (indicated with +). Additionally, surface functionalization is retained after NaBH4 treatment as demonstrated by minimal non-specific PY99-AF647 binding, while retaining robust binding of EGFR-GFP from the lysate. (B) To ensure optimal antibody labeling, a saturation curve should be acquired for each batch of antibody used. This figure shows the concentration curve for labeling EGFR with the site specific phosphotyrosine antibody, anti-EGFR-pY1173. Minimal phosphorylation is detected in untreated cells (Resting, gray diamond). As a control for non-specific binding, cells were also treated with the EGFR kinase inhibitor Lapatinib before addition of 100 nM EGF (magenta triangle), which shows the expected prevention of EGFR phosphorylation. Error bars represent standard error assuming a binomial distribution. (C) Fixation of the sample with a combination of PFA and GA prevents antibody dissociation over time. Error bars represent standard error assuming a binomial distribution. (D) False positives are excluded by selecting the appropriate threshold for Gaussian fitting. Comparing the histogram of fit intensities at a low threshold (Threshold = 0; top) between background (no lysate) and real data (plus cell lysate) allows for selection of appropriate value (Threshold = 475; bottom) to remove fits from autofluorescent spots in the green channel. Vertical magenta line indicates 475 photon threshold. Histograms are calculated from the same number of ROIs for each sample type (n=3). Scale bars, 2 μm.
