GFP and YFP-actin diffusion rates and recovery fractions in leader and follower neurons
Leader G.C. (n = 17) | Follower G.C. (n = 19) | |
---|---|---|
GFP diffusion, μm2/s | 0.31 ± 0.17* | 0.60 ± 0.19 |
GFP mobile fraction, % | 64 ± 11* | 52 ± 13 |
YFP-actin diffusion, μm2/s | 0.28 ± 0.14* | 0.54 ± 0.17 |
YFP-actin mobile fraction, % | 61 ± 11* | 49 ± 13 |
Diffusion coefficients and mobile fractions for YFP-actin in leader and follower growth cones are listed above
(*, P < 0.05). The P values were generated by comparing measurements between leaders and followers using Student's t test.
