Control cells were transfected with 2 μg/ml of synaptophysin-GFP or NCAM-GFP cDNAs. Values represent the average fluorescent intensity expressed in pixels within a 5-μm area located in the central region of the Golgi apparatus or growth cones. 12-Bit images were used for this quantification. Scale, 0 (black) to 4095 (white). Values represent synaptophysin-GFP or NCAM-GFP fluorescence intensities within a 30 μm stretch located in the proximal or distal segments of individual neurites. Each value is the mean ± SEM. At least 50 cells were analyzed for each experimental condition.
