Fig. 5. Data from a time-course experiment showing the effects of NH4Cl on macrophage [Ca2+]cyt and [Ca2+]lys. (A) [Ca2+]cyt in activated macrophages ([UNK]) following addition of NH4Cl and control cells ({circ}; activated macrophages without addition of NH4Cl). (B) [Ca2+]lys ([UNK]) and lysosomal pH ({circ}) in activated macrophages following addition of NH4Cl. (C) [Ca2+]lys ([UNK]) and lysosomal pH ({circ}) in control cells (no NH4Cl added). To measure [Ca2+]cyt, cells were loaded with FFP-18AM. To measure [Ca2+]lys, cells were loaded with a probe cocktail consisting of furaDx, FDx, and OGDx. Arrows show times of addition of ammonium chloride. Error bars represent s.e.m. (n=30 cells for [Ca2+]cyt measurements and n>=15 cells for [Ca2+]lys measurements).
