Intracellular Ca2+ concentration and permeability in mock- and rotavirus-infected MA104 cells were determined at 7 h postinfection as detailed in the legend to Fig. 3, with extracellular Ca2+ concentration changes of 2, 5, and 30 mM. The change in [Ca2+]i was determined in each individual experiment at 20 s after the change in extracellular Ca2+ concentration (Δ amplitude). The peak value of the first derivative of the original traces corresponds to the maximal rate of [Ca2+]i increase after Ca2+ addition (d[Ca2+]i/dtmax). The time from Ca2+ addition to attain this last value was computer determined in each experiment from derivative curves like the ones shown in Fig. 3. Values are means ± SEMs from n experiments in each case. *, significantly different from the corresponding value for mock-infected cells by the Mann-Whitney test (P < 0.05); †, not significantly different from the corresponding value for mock-infected cells.
