Supplementary Fig. S1 (A) Primary human keratinocytes, derived from human skin, cultured in KGM media on 2D tissue culture plastic (TCP). (B) SCC cells, derived from a human tumor, cultured in KGM media on 2D tissue culture plastic. At low density both cell types grow as adherent cells with little tendency to cluster or exhibiting distinguishable morphological differences. SCC sphere cells do not form on TCP. Images taken at 10X magnification.

Supplementary Fig. S2 SCC cytotoxicity results. SCC cells were culture with different concentrations of cisplatin for 48 hr. The common MTT (measure of mitochrondial enzyme activity) and cell titer glo (CTG, measure of ATP) assays were used to measure cell viability and results were combined (N=4). Curve fitting the above data gave an LD50 ~5 µM.
