Popis: Drug delivery to the brain is a tremendous problem for the academic society and the industry. One solution with a huge potential is to use endocytic receptors as carriers. Here we describe how endocytic activity and subcellular trafficking of a specific receptor in brain endothelial cells can be characterized in three steps. (1) Labeling, endocytosis, and trafficking of a specific receptor at given time points in a pulse-chase experiment. (2) Fixed antibody labeling and co-staining of subcellular markers for image acquisition. (3) Analysis and quantification of co-localization between the receptor and subcellular markers in ImageJ.
