Effect of cholesterol manipulations on lateral mobility parameters in HEK cells

  Depleted 10 mM (n = 21) Depleted 5 mM (n = 17) Control (n = 17) Loaded 5 mM (n = 16) Loaded 10 mM (n = 24)
Mf (%) 86 ± 5 86 ± 6 88 ± 6 87 ± 9 86 ± 7
D (μm2/s) 0.82 ± 0.36 0.70 ± 0.26 0.81 ± 0.30 0.96 ± 0.57 1.01 ± 0.42
R2 0.90 ± 0.07 0.94 ± 0.04 0.94 ± 0.03 0.91 ± 0.09 0.89 ± 0.04

Membrane cholesterol manipulations do not produce significant changes to quantitative lateral mobility parameters in HEK cells (p > 0.1). Values shown are mean ± SD. R2 values demonstrating goodness of fit for calculations of D are also provided
