Cell Calcium, 1995
A new method for the determination of tissue concentrations of Fura-2 and Fura-2/AM was developed based upon acetonitrile extraction followed by RP-HPLC separation (using tetrahexylammonium as counter-ion), post-column alkaline hydrolysis of Fura-2/AM, and fluorimetric detection.

Fura-2 AM is an esterified cell-permeant form of the Ca2+ indicator fura-2 (1-[2-(5-carboxyoxal-2-yl)-6-aminobenzofuran-5-oxyl]-2-(2'-a mino-5'- methylphenoxy)-ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid). Fura-2 AM has been reported to be completely cleaved by cellular esterases to fura-2 which is trapped within cells and is used to measure intracellular free ...

Assessment of Fura-2 for measurements of cytosolic free calcium
Cell Calcium, 1990Fura-2 has become the most popular fluorescent probe with which to monitor dynamic changes in cytosolic free calcium in intact living cells. In this paper, we describe many of the currently recognized limitations to the use of Fura-2 in living cells and certain approaches which can circumvent some of these problems. Many of these problems are cell type

Isolated rat myocytes incubated with the acetoxy methyl ester of fura 2 contained partially hydrolyzed esters, necessitating in vivo calibration of the signals obtained by fluorescence microscopy for calculation of pCa. Ionophores did not produce reliable R'max and R'min values in respiring myocytes, and elevated free calcium caused individual cells to

Quin-2 and Fura-2 measure calcium differently
Analytical Biochemistry, 1990Several fluorescent probes have been used in the past to monitor and to measure intracellular calcium and calcium fluxes. The most widely used of these probes are those developed by Tsien. We address the markedly different values obtained when comparing Quin-2 (the original probe) with Fura-2 (a second-generation probe).

Intracellular calibration of the fluorescent calcium indicator Fura-2
Cell Calcium, 1990We present the techniques we have used and the problems we have encountered in our laboratories in the in vivo calibration of the fluorescent Ca2(+)-indicator Fura-2. These techniques include the use of potentiometric methods for the precise control and determination of Ca2+ levels in bathing solutions, in association with methods for the equilibration

Fura-2 antagonises calcium-induced calcium release
Cell Calcium, 2003Calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) takes place through ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and it is often revealed by an increase of the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](c)) induced by caffeine. Using fura-2-loaded cells, we find such an effect in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells, but not in cerebellar granule ...

Spectra of intracellular Fura-2
Cell Calcium, 1991In the theory of measurement of calcium ion activity by determination of Fura-2 fluorescence at two excitation wavelengths, the accuracy of the result depends upon the accuracy both of the sample measurements and of the calibration measurements which are made on calcium-bound and free dye. Two factors underlie adequate calibration and accuracy.

Calcium-imaging with Fura-2 in isolated cerebral microvessels
Acta Histochemica, 1989Cerebral microvessels were isolated from rat hippocampus with a modified, mild collagenase digestion and loaded with the calcium fluoroprobe, Fura-2. Using a fluorescence microscope with quartz optics and an image analyser, it was possible to measure the intracellular concentration of free calcium ions [Ca2+]i in single microvessels for the first time.

Metal cations as synaptosomal calcium blockers in studies with Fura-2
Neurochemical Research, 1989Metal ions are often used to block calcium channels in various tissues, including synaptosomes. In the present study, Fura-2 was used to determine the effectiveness of various metal ions as calcium channel blockers in rat brain synaptosomes in vitro. In buffer solutions, La3+ and Cd2+ increased the Fura-2 fluorescence in a manner similar to Ca2+.
