Supplementary Figure 1 Effect of etoposide treatment on nuclear area of SW 480 colon carcinoma cells. SW480 cells were plated in a 96-well microtiter plate and cultured for 24 hr, at which time they were treated with 5 mM etoposide (shown in red) or a vehicle control (shown in blue). Nuclear size for each cell is shown as a histogram of the entire dataset after binning as shown in the figure.

Supplementary Figure 2 Representative specific and non-specific staining intensities for the primary and secondary antibodies. Box plots of antigen levels as detected by high content screening. Specific antigens were detected using antibodies as indicated in the panel and non-specific background staining was detected using specific isotypes, is indicated as well. IgG is from rabbit, IgG1 and IgG2a are from mouse.
