  1. 1 Anti-GFP immunogold particles were counted in a total of 28 GFP-HPS3 and 25 GFP-HPS3-delCBD expressing cells
  2. 2 Difference in number of gold particles per compartment, for GFP-HPS3-delCBD compared with GFP-HPS3, is statistically significant by Chi square analysis (p < 0.001)
  3. 3 Difference in number of gold particles found in association with clathrin, for GFP-HPS3-delCBD compared with GFP-HPS3, is statistically significant by Chi square analysis (p < 0.001)
