Icrocaptide
Icrocaptide (ITF1697) is a stable Lys-Pro-containing peptide that inhibits the intracellular Ca2+-dependent fusion of Weibel-Palade bodies with the plasma membrane. Icrocaptide exerts its activity at the early stages of endothelial activation and inhibits P-selectin and von Willebrand factor secretion. Icrocaptide can be used for the study of a variety of microvascular disorders.

Ca2+ Staining Technique
Ca2+ staining is an experimental technique that utilizes specific fluorescent probes (such as Fluo-4 AM, Fura-2, etc.) to qualitatively or quantitatively detect dynamic changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations; this is achieved by monitoring the changes in fluorescent signals generated when these probes bind to free intracellular calcium ions. The underlying principle relies primarily on the presence of chelating groups within the probe's molecular structure that possess high affinity for calcium ions.
