Q&A: 1 This assay is used to measure calcium mobilization in lymphocytes (either in primary cells or cell lines) in response to chemokine stimulation using ratiometric analysis. It has also been used for measuring TCR mediated calcium flux. In addition, the same labeling procedure with the addition of brilliant black (a quenching agent) (Sigma-Aldrich, catalog number: 211842) in the loading buffer (at 100 μM) allows for quantification using the FLIPR system on poly-D-lysine plates. Probenicid is an anion-exchange protein inhibitor and prevents the extrusion of the dyes by organic ion transporters.
