Inflammatory responses stimulated by bacterial endotoxin LPS involve Ca2+-mediated signaling, yet the cellular sensors that determine cell fate in response to LPS remain poorly understood. We report that exposure of RAW 264.7 macrophage-like cells to LPS induces a rapid increase in CaM abundance, which is associated with the modulation of ... More

Three-color fluorescence detection methods are described based upon covalently coupling the dye 2-methoxy-2,4-diphenyl-2(2H)-furanone (MDPF) to proteins immobilized on poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) membranes, followed by detection of target proteins using alkaline-phosphatase-conjugated reporter molecules in combination with the fluorogenic substrate 9H-(1,3-dichloro-9,9-dimethylacridin-2-one-7-yl) phosphate (DDAO-phosphate) as well as horseradish peroxidase-conjugated reporter molecules in combination ...
