SDF-1–induced calcium mobilization.
Stably transfected HEK/CD4.403 cells expressing wild-type and mutated CXCR4 receptors were loaded with Fluo-3-AM. SDF-1–induced calcium flux was measured as described in “Materials and methods” in the presence (○) or absence (●) of PTX preincubated overnight at 100 ng/mL. Representative curves of [Ca2+]i changes after stimulation with SDF-1α and ionomycin (I) from 1 to 4 experiments are shown.
