eng Analysis of tight junction proteins in human epidermis by confocal microscope Epidermal tight junctions (TJ) represents crucial regulatory element of epidermal homeostasis. Since the skin creates barrier to external environment, epidermal TJs are exposed to various factors that may deregulate them. Deregulation may occur not only as altered quantity of TJ proteins but also as altered localization pattern. Therefore, human skin samples of young and aged individuals were analyzed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). CLSM has enabled us to detect changes in localization of one of the main TJ protein, claudin-1 in photoaged skin sample. confocal microscopy, claudin-1, epidermis, tight-junctions
