Time-lapse images of actin-GFP FRAP on stress fibers in alpha-actinin knockdown C2C12 cells
Description
Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments of alpha-actinin knockdown C2C12 cells. Stress fibers in C2C12 cells expressing GFP-tagged actin were locally photobleached with 405 nm laser for 0.5 sec with 100 percent of the laser power (the size of bleached area was 1.6 x 3.6 mm), and fluo- rescence images were acquired every 0.5 sec for 1 min with 3-10 percent of the laser power.
