Fig. 2. Time-course of HypF-N binding to HeLa and Hend cells (either normal or enriched in membrane cholesterol). Both cell lines were exposed for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 minutes to 2.0 µM HypF-N pre-fibrillar aggregates and then washed twice with PBS. The residual aggregate-cell complex was stained with 2.0 µM Congo Red for 20 minutes. Under these conditions, Congo Red-staining is a measure of the amount of prefibrillar aggregates adsorbed to cell membrane surface. Binding of HypF-N aggregates to Hend cell membranes was highly reduced following supplementation of the culture media with 0.5 mM water-soluble cholesterol.
