Close Functional Coupling Between Ca2+ Release-Activated Ca2+ Channels and Reactive Oxygen Species Production in Murine Macrophages
Aim. To investigate the role of Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels in the ROS production in macrophages. Methods. The intracellular [Ca2+]i was analyzed by confocal laser microscopy. The production of ROS was assayed by flow cytometry. Results. Both LPS and thapsigargin induced an increase...
