Spectral evidence for non-calcium interactions of intracellular Indo-1

Add time:08/09/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

Indo-1 is widely used to measure intracellular free calcium, [Ca2+]i, by comparing the fluorescence emission at 2 or more wavelengths with the emissions, which are assumed to be known, of Indo-1 when it is fully calcium-bound and when it is fully calcium-free. Accurate quantitation requires that these “reference” values be obtained on intracellular dye, and the full spectra of this study show that the reason is a significant spectral shift of the calcium-free peak, but not the calcium-bound. A mathematical analysis shows that the new peak must be a new state of the Indo-1 molecule, since it cannot be simply due to residual calcium in the cell. When intracellular “reference” spectra were used in the data analysis, [Ca2+]i could be calculated from whole spectra or from the ratio of observations at two wavelengths with good agreement. When extracellular “reference” spectra were used, the value calculated by the ratio method depended on the choice of wavelengths.
