Fluorescein is a marker-dye customary applied to the evaluation of tight-junctional permeability of epithelial cell monolayers. However, the true mechanism for the permeation has not been elucidated. Transepithelial transport of fluorescein in Caco-2 cell monolayers was therefore examined. Fluorescein transport was dependent on pH, and in a vectorical way in the apical-basolateral direction, but it was independent of the tight-junctional permeability of monolayers of these human intestinal cells. The permeation of fluorescein was concentration-dependent and saturable; the Michaelis constant was 7.7 mM and the maximum velocity was 40.3 nmol min−1
