Calcium measurement is critical for numerous biological investigations. Fluorescent probes that show spectral responses upon binding calcium have enabled researchers to investigate changes in intracellular free calcium concentrations by using fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence microplate readers. Cells may be physically loaded with the cell-impermeant salt forms of these dextran-conjugated calcium indicators using patch pipette or microinjection. The fluorescence signal from these cells is measured using fluorescence microscopy. The dextran forms of our calcium indicators show a dramatic reduction in both leakage and compartmentalization compared to the AM ester forms. Among the fluorescent calcium indicator dextran conjugates, Cal-590 dextran conjugates might be a better choice than other red fluorescent dextrtan conjugates due to its higher fluorescence quantum yield and larger fluorescence enhancement by calcium.

Figure 1. ATP-stimulated calcium response of endogenous P2Y receptor in CHO-K1 cells incubated with Cal-590® AM (red) or Rhod-2 AM (blue)under the same conditions. CHO-K1 cells were seeded overnight at 50,000 cells per 100 µL per well in a 96-well black wall/clear bottom Costar plate. 100 µL of 5 µg/mL Cal-590® AM or Rhod-2 AM with 2.5 mM probenecid was added into the cells, and the cells were incubated at 37 °C for 1 hour. ATP (50 µL/well) was added by FlexStation (Molecular Devices) to achieve the final indicated concentrations.

Figure 2. The dextran forms of our calcium indicators show a dramatic reduction in both leakage and compartmentalization compared to the AM ester forms. Among the fluorescent calcium indicator dextran conjugates, Cal-590 dextran conjugates might be a better choice than other red fluorescent dextrtan conjugates due to its higher fluorescence quantum yield and larger fluorescence enhancement by calcium.
