โฆ Synopsis
The development of Cl-sensitive fluorescent indicators provides a direct approach for measurement of intracellular Cl activity and for analysis of Cl transport mechanisms in biological membranes. The important characteristics of a Cl indicator are high Cl sensitivity and selectivity, rapid response to changes in [Cl], good loading and trapping in cells, low biological toxicity,
