ionomycin and calcium flux

hello to all on the list

an investigator here has been studying the effect of various peptides on er 
negative cells  (monocytes and dendritic cells).

our question is whether using ionomycin (as our positive control/at various
 concentrations) should the ratio of violet to blue return to near baseline
 after the influx of calcium?

we are loading with indo-1 and are using an argon ion laser tuned to UV.
we get increases in ratio of violet to blue of about 4:1 after stimulation but
this stays high even for 10 minutes.

this is my first time doing calcium flux experiments and i would be very 
grateful to hear from anyone with some comments.


thank you very much.
