Macrophage Calcium flux

Hi

We are having some problems doing calcium flux experiments (using Fluo-3 and Fura-Red)
with mouse peritoneal macrophages. Even with ionomycin not all the cells respond and
those that do, respond less than we would expect. Are such cells known to be hard to
load? Do they sequester the dyes into cytoplasmic compartments? We have done plenty
of successful experiments with other cell types.

Thanks for any insights
