Figure 2. E-cadherin shows limited recovery at adherens junctions in tissue.

A) Wholemount (left) and cross section view (right) of E-cadherin-CFP epidermis. In the cross section, β4-integrin staining was used to define the basement membrane (red). Scale bars are 10 µm. B) Mobile fractions from FRAP experiments are plotted. The box represents the 25^th to 75^th percentile and the whiskers represent the 10^th and 90^th percentiles. * p<.02. ** p<.001. C) Representative kymographs are shown of individual FRAP experiments. The bleach point is indicated by the red triangle. Scale bar 1 µm.
