FIGURE 2:

Endogenous clds are variably distributed between the apical tight junction and lateral membrane in MDCK II cells. (A) Top, Maximum-intensity projections of immunofluorescence confocal colocalization of cldn2, cldn1, ZO-1, and merge (left to right panels) show that cldn1 is more laterally disposed than cldn2 or ZO-1. Bottom, Colocalization of cldn4, cldn3, ZO-1, and merge (left to right panels) reveals cldn4 and cldn3 at the lateral membrane as well as colocalized with ZO-1. Arrows in enlargement show apparent concentrations of lateral cldns likely related to lateral membrane infoldings (see Supplemental Figure S1). (B) z-Axis images as in A show ZO-1 focused at the apical junctional region and cldns colocalized with ZO-1 but also distributed along the lateral membrane.
