We report new fluorescent calcium indicators based on fluo-4. Attachment of a carboxamide or methylenecarboxamide moiety to the BAPTA chelator portion of fluo-4 allowed for the attachment of dextrans, protein-reactive moieties, and biotin. In particular, a high affinity fluo-4 dextran conjugate was prepared and shown to be functional in brain slices. All new probes were characterized spectroscopically and exhibited large fluorescence increases upon calcium-binding. The biotinylated version of fluo-4 formed a persistent streptavidin complex which still responded to increasing calcium concentrations with a large fluorescence increase. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
