Figure 3

SR-BI distribution in polarized EC SVEC4-10 cells. SR-BI localization is presented in (a) as - image and orthogonal (- and -) views. (b) and (c) represent rendering of SR-BI staining (red) throughout the cells. Nuclei: blue. In (b) and (c) basolateral surface is on the top and the bottom, respectively. These results demonstrate the presence of SR-BI on both the apical and the basolateral sides of EC. The size of scale bar on (a) is 5 μm and on (b) and (c) 10 μm.
