 (A) HeLa cells transfected with control or ALIX siRNA were fixed, permeabilized and stained with anti-MAP1S (red), anti-γ-tubulin (white) and Hoechst (blue). Interphase cells are shown and the insets show close ups of the centrosomes. Scale bars, 5 μm. (B) The fluorescence intensity of centrosomal MAP1S was determined and the graph shows the average of three independent experiments (± S.E), in which in total 52 control and 36 ALIX siRNA cells were analyzed. Significant difference is indicated as *p<0.05 (Student's t-test)
