Figure 2. Immunolocalization of claudin-10 (red) and ZO-1 (green) in mouse colon. Merge (yellow) shows this member of the claudin family is restricted to the tight junctions of crypt cells. Nuclei (blue). |

Figure 3. Structure of the claudin-binding fragment of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (residues 194-319). Tyrosines 306, 310 and 312 are required for binding to claudin. |

| Figure 8. Immunostaining for claudin-10 in mouse kidney. Tight junctions are highly interdigitated in cells of the thin ascending limb of the loop of Henle. This increases the cross-sectional length of the paracellular pathway. No interdigitations are seen in junctions of the descending limb. ZO-1 (red). |
