Comparison of intracellular calcium assays for TRPV1 receptors transiently expressed in 293-F cells. Time-courses for cells during stimulation with 150 nM capsaicin labelled with (a) stable expression of GCaMP6s and (b) the synthetic indicator fluo-4. Black lines indicate n = 12 negative control wells (0.5% DMSO only); blue lines indicate n = 4 control wells treated with 2 mM calcium; red lines indicate n = 12 positive control wells pre-incubated with an inhibitor (10 µM capsazepine). Vertical grey lines indicate the position of the measurement window. (c,d) Normalized response as a function of concentration of selected antagonists. (e,f) Normalized response as a function of concentration of selected agonists. Data are expressed as mean and standard deviation of all individual data points from three separate experiments. Lines are Hill function fits to the data.
