Figure Lengend Snippet: In situ PLA demonstrates close proximity between biotinylated fluoxetine as well as HNK and ERα (red dots) in MCF-7 cells and transfected HEK293T cells (magenta), while no PLA signal was detected in HEK293T cells not expressing ERα. ERα-transfected cells are tagged with GFP and are represented in magenta. Blue represents DAPI staining. Arrows point to the PLA signal.
Article Snippet: A group of HEK293T cells were transfected with a plasmid encoding ERα (pEGFP-C1-ER alpha, Addgene, Plasmid #28230) using Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
