Dye coupling experiments. A whole-cell patch-clamp configuration was established with a Lucifer Yellow (LY) containing pipette-filling solution (1 mg/mL) into one FS1 cell (A–C) and one TCam-2 cell (D–F). The images are representative images. Phase contrast images of the respective cell line before microinjection (A, D) and fluorescence images prior (B, E) and after LY-microinjection and incubation (C, F) are illustrated. Cell coupling of both cell lines FS1 (C) and TCam-2 (F) can be seen in acceptor cells (dashed arrows) neighboring the donor cells (arrowheads), visualized by the fluorescent LY.
