Effect of peptide-modified LPN on the junctional morphology and protein expression of bEnd.3 cells. A Immunostaining of the TJ proteins ZO-1 and claudin-5 after the treatment of bEnd.3 cells with Afa, Afa/LPN-FD7, and Afa/LPN-CCD for 48 h observed through confocal laser scanning microscopy (magnification, 1500x). Green: ZO-1. Red: claudin-5. Blue: the cell nuclei stained with DAPI. B Protein expression levels of claudin-5, ZO-1, and E-cadherin were detected through Western blot after the above treatment in bEnd.3 cells
