A pre-loading method of evaluating gap junctional communication by fluorescent dye transfer

We describe a simple method for evaluating gap junctional communication (GJC) between cells in culture. The procedure involves pre-loading cells with two fluorescent dyes: calcein and DiI. Calcein is able to pass through gap junctions, while DiI is not. These pre-loaded cells are then plated with un...
