Résumé
Objective To establish and optimize three-cube FRET assay in living cells and analyze subunit assembling of iGluR receptors. Methods Taking HEK293 cells cotransfed with pECFP and pEYFP as negative control, and those transfected with pECFP-YFP as positive control,different calculation methods using fluorescence microscopy were compared. Results These calculation methods were all suitable for FRET measurement in the system. but the measurement results were affected by the ratio of Donor/Acceptor (D/A) in some degree,and different calculation methods have different optimized conditions. FRET measurement using FR value showed subunit specific assembly of iGluR subtypes.Conclusion There are different optimized conditions for these different calculation methods in the three-cube FRET measurement system,and a further evidence is provided for subunit specific assembling of iGluR subtypes from the FRET assay.
