Fig. 8. Intracellular CA125-C-TERM is localized to organelles of the classical
ER/Golgi-dependent secretory pathway. HeLaMCAT-TAM2 cells stably
expressing CA125-C-TERM were grown on glass cover slips. At about 70%
confluency, cells were treated with brefeldin A (5 µg/ml) for 60 minutes or
were left untreated as a control. Following fixation with paraform aldehyde,
cells were treated with Triton X-100 to allow intracellular staining of
antigens using antibodies directed against calreticulin, the KDEL receptor and
CA125. Double staining was performed using secondary antibodies coupled to
Alexa-488 and Alexa-546, respectively. Specimens were analyzed with a Zeiss
LSM510 confocal microscope. (A) Anti-calreticulin, not treated with brefeldin
A; (B) anti-CA125, not treated with brefeldin A; (C) anti-KDEL receptor, not
treated with brefeldin A; (D) anti-CA125, not treated with brefeldin A; (E)
anti-KDEL receptor, treated with brefeldin A; (F) anti-CA125, treated with
brefeldin A.
