We hypothesize that lung ischemic injury is related to cessation of flow leading to endothelial cell membrane depolarization and activation of oxidant-generating systems. Cell membrane potential was assessed in isolated, oxygen ventilated, Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer-dextran-perfused rat lungs by lung surface

We studied, in different ionic conditions, the effect of various agents on the membrane potential of rat peritoneal mast cells using the fluorescent probe bisoxonol. Ouabain and ionophore A23187 lead to a fast depolarization of the plasma membrane of mast
The membrane potential is an important modulator of calcium ion flux into endothelial cells of venular microvessels. We developed a method to measure the membrane potential of endothelial cells forming the walls of individually perfused microvessels under the same experimental

Flow cytometry in combination with fluorescence probes was applied to rapidly assess the physiological status of Streptococcus macedonicus ACA-DC 198, a newly described member of the lactic acid bacteria group with technologically important features (e.g. lantibiotic production). A sonication procedure

Adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) conveys the signals from G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and regulates a variety of downstream cellular events. However, there are few robust assays available for measuring cAMP in live cells. Most of the existing cAMP assays require cell
