---|---|---|---|
Marker | Co-localisation | GFP-SNX2 alone | Marker alone |
EEA1 | 70.3±5.6 | 16.0±6.0 | 11.7±2.3 |
EGFR, 10 min | 71.0±5.9 | 12.3±3.4 | 17.7±9.3 |
SNX1 | 78.4±6.4 | 9.5±7.7 | 12.1±1.3 |
LAMP1 | 9.0±4.2 | 49.5±12.0 | 41.5±7.8 |
HeLa cells expressing low levels of GFP-SNX2 were fixed and stained for the various markers. For co-localisation with internalised EGF receptor, serum-starved cells were stimulated for 10 minutes with EGF (100 ng/ml) prior to fixation. The degree of co-localisation was determined as described in Materials and Methods.
