Figure 7

Large CD151 patches coincide with intracellular actin accumulations. CD151-GFP transfected HaCaT cells were treated for 3 h without or with PsVs. Membrane sheets were generated, stained, and imaged by confocal microscopy. Green (CD151-GFP; GFP signal was enhanced by nanobodies), red (PsVs visualized by L1 antibody labeling) and cyan (filamentous actin; fluorescently labelled phalloidin). Images are displayed using a linear lookup table. For each channel, the same arbitrary scaling was applied. (A) For each condition a membrane sheet is shown. Magnified views from the white boxes are shown, illustrating the individual channels. (B) For the CD151 and the actin channels, within a freehand ROI excluding membrane edges, the pixels with an intensity higher than the average ROI intensity were selected. Then, the number of pixels positive in both channels were related to the number of all positive pixels in the CD151 channel. Values are given as means ± SD (n = 45 membrane sheets collected from three biological replicates). Unpaired Student’s t-test (***p < 0.001).
