Figure 1. Iloprost-induced concentration-dependent stimulation of intracellular calcium mobilization in CHO-K1/IP1/Gα15 cells. The cells were loaded with Calcium-4 (Cat. No. R8142, Molecular Devices) prior to being stimulated with agonist iloprost. The intracellular calcium change was measured by FLIPR. The relative fluorescent units (RFU) were plotted against the log of the cumulative doses of iloprost (Mean ± SEM, n = 3). The EC50 of iloprost on this cell was 1.06 nM.
Notes:
EC50 value is calculated with four parameter logistic equation:
Y=Bottom + (Top-Bottom) / (1+10^((LogEC50-X)*Hill Slope))
X is the logarithm of concentration. Y is the response
Y is ∆RFU and starts at Bottom and goes to Top with a sigmoid shape. »
