Photorelease techniques for raising or lowering intracellular Ca2+.
The quantitative manipulation of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) is a valuable instrument in the modern cell biologists' toolbox for unraveling the many cell processes controlled by calcium. I summarize here the major classes of photosensitive calcium chelators used to elevate or reduce [Ca(2+)](i), with an emphasis on their physicochemical properties and methods of calculatin...
متن کاملPharmacological properties of a pore induced by raising intracellular Ca2+.
Recent studies on the P2X(7) receptor in 2BH4 cells and peritoneal macrophages have demonstrated that the raise in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration induces a pore opening similar to P2X(7) receptor pore. Herein, we have investigated whether the pore activated by the elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration is associated to P2X(7) receptor. Using patch clamp in cell attached, whole cell...
متن کاملThe Mechanism of Complement Fixation
1. Complement fixation is obtained in every antigen-antibody reaction involving the presence or formation of a heterogeneous phase (red cells, bacteria, precipitate). 2. The physical constants of fixation (temperature coefficient, velocity, quantitative relationships between the reactants) are those commonly associated with adsorption processes, and are the same in the three types of fixation s...
متن کاملMechanism of Hemolysis by Complement
1. Sensitization confers upon the red cell the property of adsorbing complement from solution. The submicroscopic film of immune serum protein deposited upon the cell surface during sensitization, and completely analogous to the precipitate formed in a soluble antigen-antibody reaction (e.g., sheep serum vs. rabbit anti-sheep serum) acts as absorbent, the degree of sensitization (size of the fi...
متن کاملRaising the alarm: patient care at risk from too many... bells, beeps & buzzers independent study.
Ask a group of nurses if they’ve ever heard of alarm fatigue and you’ll receive a few puzzled looks. Ask the same group of nurses if they’ve ever heard IV pump beeps and bed alarms in their sleep and everyone starts nodding their head. “We've all had the alarms invade our sleep!,” said Nicole Jaskot, RN, a SE Michigan float nurse. “What nurse hasn't vividly dreamt about work all night only to w...
