I doubt whether you are going to get a positive answer here. We have not
been able to develop single-cell indicators for cAMP, ATP etc and an
antibody is likely to first not get to it in live cells and second, if
it could, bind it and leave in fixed cells. There are fluorescent assays
for cAMP in cell lysates but the only fluorescent cAMP indicator that I
am aware of for use in single cells is one by Tsien that has to be
microinjected (FlRChR). Sure would like to have one(s), however.
