CD151 is highly expressed in isolated primary human liver sinusoidal endothelial cells. A: mRNA levels of CD151 in populations of isolated primary human hepatocytes (PHH), human hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (HSEC), biliary epithelial cells (BEC), hepatic stellate cells (HSC), and activated liver myofibroblasts (aLMF). B: confocal microscopy of HSECs after incubation with FITC-FSA for 15 min. Inset: control cells. C–E: dual-color immunofluorescent staining of HSECs for CD151 (green) and early endosome marker (EEA-1) (C), Golgi marker GM130 (D), and lysosome marker LAMP-1 (E). Bar = 20 μm (B), 15 μm (C–E). **P < 0.01.
