KTX-Sp2
KTX-Sp2 is a potassium channel toxin. KTX-Sp2 effectively blocks three types of exogenous voltage-gated potassium channels: Kv1.1, Kv1.2 and Kv1.3. Ktx-Sp2 inhibits endogenous Kv1.3 and suppresses Ca2+ signaling in Jurkat T cells. Ktx-Sp2 inhibits IL-2 secretion from activated Jurkat T cells.

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.
