Assessing T-cell Receptor-Induced Calcium Influx Using a Calcium Indicator Dye

Samenvatting

Source: Perrenoud, L. et al., Analysis of T-cell Receptor-Induced Calcium Influx in Primary Murine T-cells by Full Spectrum Flow Cytometry. J. Vis. Exp. (2022)

This video analyzes T-cell receptor-induced calcium influx in T-cells. Anti-CD3 antibodies activate the T-cell signaling pathways, leading to an increase in intracellular calcium ions that bind with Indo-1 dye. In flow cytometry, a spectrum shift from the calcium-free state to the calcium-bound state  correlates with T-cell receptor-induced calcium influx.

Protocol

All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board.

1. Preparation of immune cells from the mouse spleen

NOTE: Euthanize naïve mice with carbon dioxide (CO₂) euthanasia. C57BL/6 mice purchased from Jackson Laboratories and bred in-house are used for experiments at 6-12 weeks of age. Both male and female mice are utilized for experiments.

1. Disinfect the mouse skin with 70% ethanol in order to reduce the possibility of external contaminants from getting into ....
