Figure 6. Immunogold labeling of Cx56 in cholesterol-containing gap junctions by innovative technique combining filipin cytochemistry and FRIL

In view of the presence of similar aquaporin junctions in lens fibers, our innovative technique combining filipin cytochemistry and FRIL demonstrates that both cholesterol-intermediate (A) and cholesterol-free (B) junctions are real gap junctions (gj) because they contain connexin Cx56. Arrows denote some filipin-cholesterol complexes in (A). The scale bars are equal to 200 nm.
