Indo-1, AM ist ein intrazellulärer Calcium-Indikator (Kd ∼0,23 µM) mit hoher Affinität, der ratiometrisch ist und durch UV-Licht angeregt werden kann. Diese Acetoxymethyl (AM)-Esterform eignet sich für die nichtinvasive intrazelluläre Beladung und ist auch in einer speziellen Verpackung (I-1223) und in einer DMSO-Lösung erhältlich (I-1223).

Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ)
I am doing calcium flux imaging with your Fura-2 calibration kit, but am seeing a large variability in ratio in different places around the slide. I am correcting for uniform illumination, using the product as directed, and sealing the coverslip with nail polish.
The nail polish may be the problem. The Kd value (calcium sensitivity) changes depending upon the dye's environment. Nail polish has solvents that can leech under the coverslip and cause variability. We recommend either going without a sealing or sealing with melted paraffin painted on the coverslip edges with a cotton-tipped applicator (paraffin is hydrophobic and has no solvents).
I need to label cells with Fluo-4, AM, for a calcium flux assay. How long after labeling will the dye be retained?
After loading dye into the cells, intracellular esterases remove the 'AM' moiety from the dye. When the 'AM' group is removed, the dye is able to bind calcium and fluoresce. Since the dye is not covalently bound to any cellular components, it may be actively effluxed from the cell. The rate of efflux is dependent upon the inherent properties of the cell, culture conditions and other factors. The dye may be retained for hours, days or even weeks or lost in a matter of minutes. The use of Probenecid (Cat. No. P36400) limits loss by active efflux.
What indicator dye can I use to measure calcium flux by flow cytometry?
Indo-1, AM is the preferred stain for flow cytometry, where it is more practical to use a single laser for excitation, usually the 351–364 nm spectral lines of the argon-ion laser, and monitor two emissions. The emission maximum of Indo-1 shifts from ~475 nm in Ca2+-free medium to ~400 nm when the dye is saturated with Ca2+. Indo-1, AM is particularly suited for multicolor fluorescence applications.

CD5 antibodies increase intracellular ionized calcium concentration in T cells.

Journal:Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)
PubMed ID:3106489
The binding of a variety of monoclonal antibodies to the CD5 (T, gp67) pan T cell differentiation antigen has been shown to potentiate T cell proliferation. In this paper we show that CD5 monoclonal antibodies cause increased intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in T cells. An increase in [Ca2+]i occurred ... More
The role of L-type Ca2+ current and Na+ current-stimulated Na/Ca exchange in triggering SR calcium release in guinea-pig cardiac ventricular myocytes.
Authors:Evans AM, Cannell MB
Journal:Cardiovasc Res
PubMed ID:9349392
OBJECTIVE: This study examines the relative ability of sodium current (INa)-stimulated reverse mode Na/Ca exchange and the L-type calcium current (ICa) to trigger calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes. METHODS: Cytosolic Ca2+ transients were recorded from enzymatically dissociated guinea-pig ventricular myocytes using Indo-1. Macroscopic membrane currents were simultaneously ... More
Nitric oxide is an upstream signal of vascular endothelial growth factor-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 activation in postcapillary endothelium.

Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:9461619
We recently demonstrated that nitric oxide (NO) significantly contributes to the mitogenic effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), suggesting a role for the NO pathway in the signaling cascade following kinase-derivative receptor activation in vascular endothelium. The aim of this study was to investigate the intracellular pathways linked to ... More
