[Abstract] Antigen recognition and activation of T cell receptor (TCR) triggers transient calcium release from intracellular compartments and subsequent sustained calcium influx through cell surface Icrac channels. Sustained elevation of the cytoplasmic calcium level activates many calcium-dependent enzymes and transcription factors, which are essential for T cell activation and function. This protocol uses non-ratiometric dyes, in combination with flow cytometry, to monitor TCR-triggered calcium changes over time, and is a simple assay to examine the existence of T cell calcium mobilization ...
[摘要] 抗原识别和激活T细胞受体(TCR),触发来自细胞内钙的释放,随后持续的钙离子通过细胞表面Icrac通道内流。胞质钙离子水平的持续升高可激活许多钙依赖性酶和转录因子,它们是T细胞活化和功能所必需的。该方法使用非比例染料,和流式细胞仪结合,监测的TCR触发钙随着时间的推移的变化,是一个简单的检测,以检查在转基因小鼠的T细胞钙动员缺陷的存在。
