Fig. 4. Incorporation of labelled cells into regenerating mesothelium. ZO-1 expression in normal mesothelium is localised to the plasma membrane (A). Dual localisation of DiI and ZO-1 on imprints of regenerating mesothelium, 5 days following injection of DiI-labelled cultured mesothelial cells (B, arrowed) and 8 days following injection of DiI-labelled peritoneal lavage cells (C, arrowed), demonstrating relocation of ZO-1 to the plasma membrane at points of cell-to-cell contact. Bar, 10 µm.
