Time lapse movie showing endosomes moving with distinct dynamics. HepG2 cells were transfected with a LAMP-1-mGFP expressing construct10 and incubated with dextran and Tf-Alexa568 according to the protocol described in figure 2. LAMP-1-mGFP is present in the Golgi region and in endosomes. Note a ‘ring’ endosome that remains stationary in the Golgi region (first arrow), whereas an endosome loaded only with dextran and/or Tf-Alexa568 moves through the cytoplasm (second arrow). Still frames and CLEM images of the imaged cell are shown in figure 2. (MOV 5914 kb)
