ABSTRACT
Preservation of fine cellular details of semi-adherent or suspension cells for imaging by immunofluorescence is challenging. This protocol enables staining of floating cells with minimal morphological distortions, as we demonstrate with the semi-adherent multiple myeloma cell line RPMI 8226. We describe steps to better preserve structural details by fixing, permeabilizing, and staining cells in solution, while minimizing the number of centrifugation steps and centrifugation g-force. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Osei-Amponsa et al.1.
