Figure legend:

HaCaT cells, grown on coverslips, were loaded with lysotracker (in red) A, fixed and stained with a specific antibody against tubulin and revealed by FITC-conjugated secondary antibodies (green) B. Nuclei were labeled with DAPI (blue) C. Overlapping of ABC. Serial confocal sections were collected. Bar, 8 µm.

Other informations

The irradiating source consists of three lamps (Philips Ultraviolet 8 TL 20W/01 RS lamps; Philips, Eindhoven, Netherlands) generating UVB light in the range of 290–320 nm with an emission peak at 312 nm. Intensity of UVB irradiation was measured using a phototherapy radiometer (International Light, Newburyport, MA).

Images were collected using a laser scanning microscope (LSM 510 META, Carl Zeiss Microimaging, Inc.) equipped with a planapo 63x oil-immersion (NA 1.4) objective lens. All image processing was done using LSM 510 software

 

Quality validation: Yes

Validation info

The protocol has been used to obtain data published in a peer-reviewed journal.
