Effect of fixation on lipophilic dye retention in LNCaP and PBMC cells. (A) Both LNCaP and PBMC cells were labeled with Bodipy for 5 min, after labeling half of the cells were fixed and permeabilized using intrasure kit. (B) Permeabilized cells were labeled with pan-cytokeratin antibody tagged with Alexa647 for 30 min at room temperature. (B) Blue lines represent LNCaP or PBMC cells without staining with Bodipy FL or immunolabeled with pan-cytokeratin antibody tagged with Alexa 647. Red lines represent LNCaP or PBMC cells stained with Bodipy FL or immunolabeled with pan-cytokeratin antibody tagged with Alexa 647. (C) Two-color flow cytometry data for dual-stained LNCaP and PBMC cells. Data presented are of one set of flow cytometry experiments. (D) The average values of four experiments are shown in a graphical format. Asterisk indicates P-value < 0.05 determined with paired Student’s t-test against untreated control.
