Localization and expression level of phosphorylated p53 proteins. (A) In 293T and MCF-7 cells, the phosphorylated p53s are located in nuclei together with GFP-18E6. Green fluorescence indicates the protein of GFP, and GFP-18E6 expressed by the transfected cells, Red fluorescence indicates phosphorylated p53 proteins, which are labelled with phosphorylated anti-p53 antibodies plus anti-rabbit-Cy3 secondary antibody. The photographs are examined at 400× magnification by confocal microscopy. Scale bar = 8 μm. The results shown are representative of three independent experiments. (B) Level of phosphorylated p53 in the context of GFP-18E6 from 12 h to 72 h. The data of phosphorylated p53s level are examined by fluorescence intensity. 100 cells are examined for each phosphorylated site of p53 from 20× random fields.
