Fig. 5. AF6i3 knockdown reduces E-cadherin-dependent adhesion in dissociation assay. (A) Light-microscopy images of cells trypsinised in the presence of 1 mM Ca2+ (top) or 1 mM EDTA (bottom) and dissociated by pipetting. Bar, 0.125 mm. (B) Graphic representation of the extent of cell dissociation, represented by index NTC/NTE. NTC and NTE correspond to the total particle number after treatment of cells in the presence of Ca2+ or EDTA, respectively. Values for ±s.d. were derived from three independent experiments.
