Predicting the fate of lymphocytes by the initial Ca response pattern

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Lymphocyte cell lines (A20 B cells, etc.) and mouse spleen B lymphocytes were used for analyses. These cells were loaded with Ca2+fluorescent indicators (Fluo-4, etc.). Cytoplasmic Ca2+responses to the stimulation of surface antigen receptors were recorded from individual cells using a fluorescence microscope and the data were collected to make a database. Additionally, systems were developed to detect cell death, apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential from individual cells. Statistical analysis and correlational analysis were performed using these digitalized data.
