How can you use “fura-” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
After 7 days in culture, cells were loaded with 1.5 μM fura-2 AM (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) in HBSS and 1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 30 minutes at 22°C and washed in HBSS for 30 minutes at 22°C.
Thus, the apparent saturation of the fluorescence ratio observed in BAECs reflects, at least in part, a contribution from extracellular fura-2.
Addition of MTX to fura-2 -loaded BAECs, suspended in a cuvette in normal Ca 2+-containing buffer at 37°C, produced a time-dependent increase in [Ca 2+] i (Fig 1, upper panel ). Addition of either U73122 or U73343, the inactive analog, ~3 min before MTX produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of the change in [Ca 2+] i . U73343 exhibited a 3-fold greater potency compared to U73122 (Fig 1, insets ). Since U73343 has no significant effect on PLC over the concentration range employed [ 14 25 26 27 ] , these results suggest that inhibition of the MTX-induced response is independent of PLC.
MTX produced an immediate, concentration-dependent increase in [Ca 2+] i . At the highest concentration of MTX examined (3 nM), [Ca 2+] i rapidly increased within 1-2 minutes from a mean ± SE resting level of 63 ± 4 nM to an apparent [Ca 2+] i value close to fura-2 saturation.
[Ca 2+] i was measured using the fluorescent indicator, fura-2, as previously described [ 24].
