Fig 7. IFITM3 and 2 induce accumulation of cholesterol in endosomal compartments.

Fig 7

(A). Analysis of cholesterol distribution using the specific marker filipin (red) in Vero-IFITM1, 2 and 3 cells (green) and cells containing the empty vector. Cholesterol is accumulated in endosomes upon expression of IFITM2 and 3. (B). Basal IFITM2 expression in control cells containing the empty vector did not produce cholesterol accumulation. N = 30 cells per condition. Bar = 10μm.
