Fig. 3. Comparison of surface levels of MCSP and ß1 integrins in primary human
keratinocytes by flow cytometry. Profiles of basal keratinocytes are shown
following gating out of differentiated cells. (A) Dot plot of total basal
keratinocyte population. Vertical and horizontal lines represent the
fluorescence of single antibody controls. Boxes represent cells selected on
the basis of highest or lowest 20% of expression of ß1 integrins (FL-1)
or MCSP (FL-3). (B) MCSP fluorescence of total basal keratinocytes (Total) or
20% of cells with highest ß1-integrin expression (ß1-High) or 20% of
cells with lowest ß1-integrin expression (ß1-Low). (C)
ß1-Integrin fluorescence of total basal keratinocytes (Total) or 20% of
cells with highest MCSP expression (MCSP-High) or 20% of cells with lowest
MCSP expression (MCSP-Low). (B,C) Dotted lines show the fluorescence of cells
labelled with secondary antibody alone.
