Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Microscopic images of CAFs at 40 × (A) and 100 × (B) magnifications. (C) Western blot analysis of the expression of α-SMA (42 kDa), a CAF marker; β-actin (45 kDa) was used as a loading control. (D) Flow cytometry analysis of FAP expression in isolated CAFs. The red peak indicates cells stained with anti-FAP antibody, and the green peak represents cells stained with isotype control (anti-mouse IgG Ab). CAFs, cancer-associated fibroblasts; α-SMA, alpha smooth actin; FAP, fibroblast activation protein.
Article Snippet: CAFs were labeled with an anti-fibroblast activation protein (FAP) antibody (Mouse monoclonal IgG1, 427819; Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO, USA) and subsequently stained with a fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated anti-mouse IgG1 secondary antibody.
