A Maximum intensity projections of smFISH fluorescence microscopy z-stacks of Jurkat T cells stained for the indicated genes after 1-hour (Nfkbia, Tnfaip3, Tnf, Il8) or 4-hour (Il6, Csf2) treatment with 20 ng/mL TNF. Nfkbia, Tnfaip3, Tnf, and Il6 were labeled with Quasar 670, and Il8 and Csf2 were labeled with fluorescein. All images were filtered as described in Materials and Methods. Brightness and contrast were enhanced for visualization. Scale bars: 10 μm. B Bar graphs of mean of smFISH distributions before and after TNF treatment for the indicated genes. Cells were combined from three replicates (Nfkbia 1h; Tnfaip3 1h; Tnf 1h, 2h; and Il6 2h, 4h) two replicates (Nfkbia 2h) or one replicate (Tnfaip3 2h; Il8 1h, 2h; Csf2 2h, 4h). Basal data are same as in Fig. 1E. Error bars indicate bootstrapped 95% CIs for the samples in (C). Significant differences indicated by non-overlapping CIs. C
