Colonies of differentiated THP- 1 cells on top of epithelial A549 cells. A: Analysis of the distribution of THP-1 cells in the coculture system by a z-stack image series. THP-1 cells form colonies of several cells on top of A549 cells. THP-1 cells are stained with anti-CD11b-antibody (green); nuclei are counterstained with DAPI (blue). X–y projection with the respective side views (Magnification: 630x). B: Same image as shown in A but only with the channels for DAPI and CD11b. The red arrows indicate representative colonies (Magnification: 630x).
