We wanted to determine whether cGAS was localized to micronuclei in head and neck cancer, as this was previously described in other cancer cell lines.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Immunofluorescence

Sample

Cal27 and Detroit562

Primary Incubation

1:200 dultion of primary antibody in 10% normal goat serum, 10% horse serum, and 0.5% PBS-T

Blocking Agent

10% normal goat serum, 10% horse serum, and 0.5% PBS-T

Secondary Incubation

1:500 dilution of goat-anti-rabbit AlexaFlour 488 antibody.

Tertiary Incubation

N/A

Detection

Image of mounted slides on EVOS 5000 fluorescence microscope.

Results Summary

To induce micronuclei formation, we treated cells with 4Gy of radiation. We found that cGAS does localise to ~80% of DAPI-positive micronuclei after radiation treatment. This result confirms that cGAS localises to micronuclei in Head and Neck Cancer cell lines. Although the cGAS signal was strong, the antibody did have some background.
