Figure Lengend Snippet: (A–B) Confocal images of dendritic cells cultured on glass (A) and on filters with 1 μm pore size (B). Actin was labeled with phalloidin-Alexa fluor 546 (Phal; magenta) and clathrin was visualized by immunostaining (AB; green). The filters were impregnated with Alexa fluor 633-labeled gelatin (Filter; grey). The yellow line indicates the position of the orthogonal view. Yellow arrow heads indicate randomly selected actin-rich cores. The red arrow head indicates the approximate filter surface. (C) Quantification of the fraction of clathrin positive actin cores from panels A–B. (D–F) Same as panels A–C, but now with immunostaining for DC-SIGN, DCIR, Dectin-1, CD206 and CD71. Error bars show the spread of data for multiple cells from at least two independent experiments. Scale bars, 2 μm.
