Characteristic distribution patterns of innexin-3-containing gap junctions. Anti-Inx3 staining, WFM, S9 to S10B, A, B, C: representative grey-scale images, A´, B´, C´: corresponding pseudocolour images. Innexin 3 is predominantly localized in lateral FC membranes, the highest concentration being found in cFC (see scale bar). In D the characteristic distribution patterns are summarized schematically; high concentrations of innexin 3 are shown in yellow (staining in NC is not considered). For abbreviations, see Figure 1.
