Description

Z-focal series through a HeLa cell stained for DNA (blue), Aurora B (green), and phospho-Ser10-histone H3(red). This image is the control for the Bod-1 depletion experiment CIL: 13372. Bod1 is a protein that associates with a large macromolecular complex and localizes with kinetochores and spindle poles during mitosis.

Technical Details

Cells were fixed with 3.7% paraformaldehyde or methanol for 2 min at ?20°C. Mouse anti–α-tubulin DM1A (Sigma-Aldrich), and mouse anti–Aurora B antibody AIM-1 (BD Biosciences) were used at 1:500. Fluorescently labeled secondary antibodies were all obtained from Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories. Image corresponds to Figure 5A from JCB vol. 179 no. 2 187-197.
