Fig. 4. Effect of 4 hours of treatment with siRNALRP1 upon PrPC distribution within neurons, and upon LRP1-dependent endocytosis. (A-D) Neurons pretreated with 250 nM siRNACon (A), or with siRNALRP1.1 (B), siRNALRP1.2 (C) or siRNALRP1.3 (D), were surface labelled with Alexa-Fluor-488–2S Fab anti-PrP (green), then fixed and permeabilised for labelling internal PrPC with Alexa-Fluor-594–SAF83 (red). Quantitation is given in supplementary material Table S4a. (E,F) Neurons treated as above with siRNACon (E) or siRNALRP1.1 (F), fixed, permeabilised and labelled (both surface and internal) with Alexa-Fluor-488 anti-Thy-1 antibody (green). Quantitation is given in supplementary material Table S3b. (G,H) Neurons treated with siRNACon (G) or siRNALRP1.1 (H) were prelabelled with Alexa-Fluor-488
2M* (green) and Texas Red-Tf and then placed at 37°C for 2 minutes. (I,J) Neurons treated with siRNACon (I) or siRNALRP1.1 (J) were prelabelled for PrPC with Alexa-Fluor-594–Fab (red), and the transferrin receptor with Alexa-Fluor-488–Tf (green), and placed at 37°C for 2 minutes. Bars, 5 µm.
