Cultured cells were collected together with their supernatant, and fixed with 80% ice‐cold ethanol. Following overnight incubation in −20°C, cells were washed twice with cold PBS, incubated for 10 min in 0.1% Triton solution (in PBS), followed by staining with DAPI (1 μg/ml). Samples were filtered to remove aggregates prior to analysis. DAPI area and width were measured by flow cytometry (BD Biosciences FACSCalibur). Images were analyzed using FlowJo software (Treestar, Ashland, OR).
