Calcium signals in cell lines derived from the cerebral cortex of normal and trisomy 16 mice
1 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
We established two immortalized cell lines from cerebral cortex of normal (CNh) and trisomy 16 (CTb) mouse fetuses, an animal model of human trisomy 21. Those cells loaded with the fluorescent Ca2+ dyes, Indo-1 and Fluo-3, exhibited increments of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in response to external glutamate, NMDA, AMPA and kainate. CTb cells exhibited higher basal Ca2+ concentrations and had higher amplitude and...
