David Lambert and a panel of leading authorities present a wide range of experimental protocols for studying Ca2+ signaling. These optimized techniques cover the more common applications, including 45Ca2+ flux measurements, and basic fluorometric technology, as well as more sophisticated methods, including confocal microscopy and subcellular Ca2+ imaging. There are also methods - largely based on fluorescence measurement - to determine Ca2+ channel activity and the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. Calcium Signaling Protocols offers today's researchers readily reproducible laboratory methods that make it possible to examine the calcium signaling process in detail in a range of cells of animal and plant origin.

Editorial Reviews

Review

: "...recommended to investigators interested in calcium measurement using optical methods. "-Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal "Most protocols identify required materials such as buffers, reagents and cell lines. Methods are presented in a step-by-step format. Hopefully these protocols are adaptable by scientists for use in specific research. Certainly, the methods are specific enough not to leave the researcher stranded. Calcium Signaling Protocols is recommended for academic health and science libraries who support academic research."-E-Streams
