We used the fluorescent pH-sensitive dye 2',7 '-bis(carboxyethyl)-5,6carboxyfluorescein (BCECF) to monitor intracellular pH (pH,) in single astrocytes cultured from the forebrain of neonatal rats. When exposed to a nominally COz/HC03--free medium buffered to pH 7.40 with HEPES at 37"C, the cells had

Intracellular pH (pH,) and the mechanisms of pH, regulation have been investigated in cultured microglial cells from mouse brain using the pH-sensitive fluorescent dye 2',7'-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF). Cells were acidified by a pulse of NH,+ (4-5 min; 20 mM) and the subseq
The uptake of noradrenaline by primary cultures of mouse and rat astrocytes was investigated in order to examine whether an inhibition of extraneuronal noradrenaline uptake was the mechanism whereby some trace biogenic amines potentiate neuronal responses to noradrenaline. In the presence of inhibit
