Time course examining the effects of persistent CP55,940 treatment on heteromer
(D2L-CB1-Venus) and homomer
(D2L-D2L-Cerulean) formation. CAD cells were transiently
transfected with CB1-VN, D2L-CC, and D2L-CN
followed by quantitative image analyses of the Venus/Cerulean ratios for the
membrane and intracellular compartments. A, cells were incubated with 10
μM CP55,940 for 10, 20, or 30 h before image analysis. Data represents
the average median Venus-to-Cerulean ratio values normalized to percentage of
vehicle treatment (±S.E.M.) in four independent experiments. B, images
from 20-h time point depicting the effects of CP55,940 on Venus and Cerulean
signals.
