生物活性
钙离子荧光探针Rhod-2, AM是一种用于钙通量测定的试剂（λex=552 nm，λem=581 nm）。钙测量对于许多生物学研究至关重要。结合 Ca2+ 时显示光谱响应的荧光探针使研究人员能够通过使用荧光显微镜、流式细胞术、荧光光谱和荧光酶标仪来研究细胞内游离 Ca2+ 浓度的变化。
PREPARATION OF STOCK SOLUTIONS
Unless otherwise noted, all unused stock solutions should be divided into single-use aliquots and stored at -20 °C after preparation. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Rhod-2 AM Stock Solution
Prepare a 2 to 5 mM stock solution of Rhod-2 AM in high-quality, anhydrous DMSO.
PREPARATION OF WORKING SOLUTION
Rhod-2 AM Working Solution
On the day of the experiment, either dissolve Rhod-2 AM in DMSO or thaw an aliquot of the indicator stock solution to room temperature. Prepare a dye working solution of 2 to 20 µM in a buffer of your choice (e.g., Hanks and Hepes buffer) with 0.04% Pluronic® F-127. For most cell lines, Rhod-2 AM at a final concentration of 4-5 μM is recommended. The exact concentration of indicators required for cell loading must be determined empirically.
Note The nonionic detergent Pluronic® F-127 is sometimes used to increase the aqueous solubility of Rhod-2 AM.
Note If your cells contain organic anion-transporters, probenecid (1-2 mM) may be added to the dye working solution (final in well concentration will be 0.5-1 mM) to reduce leakage of the de-esterified indicators.
SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL
Following is our recommended protocol for loading AM esters into live cells. This protocol only provides a guideline and should be modified according to your specific needs.
-
Prepare cells in growth medium overnight.
-
On the next day, add 1X Rhod-2 AM working solution into your cell plate.
Note If your compound(s) interfere with the serum, replace the growth medium with fresh HHBS buffer before dye-loading.
-
Incubate the dye-loaded plate in a cell incubator at 37 °C for 30 to 60 minutes.
Note Incubating the dye for longer than 1 hour can improve signal intensities in certain cell lines.
-
Replace the dye working solution with HHBS or buffer of your choice (containing an anion transporter inhibitor, such as 1 mM probenecid, if applicable) to remove any excess probes.
-
Add the stimulant as desired and simultaneously measure fluorescence using either a fluorescence microscope equipped with a TRITC filter set or a fluorescence plate reader containing a programmable liquid handling system such as an FDSS, FLIPR, or FlexStation, at Ex/Em = 540/590 nm cutoff 570 nm.

例如，依据体表面积折算法，将化合物用于小鼠的剂量20 mg/kg 换算成大鼠的剂量，需要将20 mg/kg 乘以小鼠的Km系数（3），再除以大鼠的Km系数（6），得到化合物用于大鼠的等效剂量为10 mg/kg。
