    Fluo-4 AM purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Front Pharmacol. 2022 May 17;13:855626.  [Abstract]

    Intracellular Ca2+ is measured by Fluo-4/AM (for 30 min) with flow cytometry.

    Fluo-4 AM purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Cell Death Discov. 2021 Feb 10;7(1):31.  [Abstract]

    The cardiomyocytes are isolated by enzyme digestion and loaded with Fluo 4-AM (5 μM) at 37 °C for 20 min. Fluorescence changes of Fluo 4-AM are recorded by confocal microscopy at 25 °C.

    Description

    Fluo-4 AM is a cell-permeable Ca2+ indicator[1].

    In Vitro

    Fluo-4 AM is a fluorescent dyeex=494 nm, λem=516 nm). Preloaded with Fuo-4 AM, a very bright fluorescence image is observed. In a parallel experiment with fluo-3 AM-loaded cells, the resulting fluorescence image, although clearly discernable in this case, is less bright[1].? Guidelines (Following is our recommended protocol. This protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs).
    ? 1.?Count the cells and take 106 cells from each sample (control and experiment/s).
    ? 2.?Collect the cells (5 min, 3000×g, 4 °C) and wash once in PBS.
    ? 3.?Resuspend the cells in 0.5-ml PBS and add 0.5 μl of Fluo-4-AM (1 mM stock) to a final concentration of 1 μM. Incubate at 37 °C for 1 h.
    ? 4.?Wash the cells three times (2 min, 3000×g) with PBS and finally resuspend in 1-ml PBS. Separate into 2 flow cytometry tubes—0.5 ml in each.
    ? 5.?Evaluate the staining by flow cytometry and analyze the data by a software such as CellQuest software.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    For measuring fluorescence from cells in suspension, dilutions to 2 to 3×106 cells are made, from cultures of rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) cells. Cells are incubated in suspension in 1 μM dye (including Fluo-4 AM) for 30 min at 37°C. Cell suspensions are then transferred to cuvets for measurements of fluorescence emission intensity by spectrofluorometer[1].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
