PCR primers and conditions. Figure S1. MCL-1 protein expression in parental cell lines and venetoclax-resistant populations. MCL-1 protein expression was measured using an assay developed based on the Luminex technology [19]. In brief, MCL-1 capture antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., Santa Cruz, CA) was custom-conjugated to Luminex carboxyl beads (bead region 9) by Millipore (St. Charles, MO, USA). MCL-1 detection antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc.) was also conjugated to biotin through a custom service provided by Millipore. Cells were lysed in MILLIPLEX MAP lysis buffer 1 (Millipore Cat. no. 43-040, Danvers, MA, USA) containing protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma). Data are presented as median fluorescent intensity (MFI). Equivalent amounts of protein from whole cell lysates generated from parental cell lines and their venetoclax-resistant versions were assessed. The signal was read using a Luminex FlexMap 3D system (Luminex, Austin, TX). Asterisks denote p < 0.05. (PPTX 79 kb)
