The accurate measurement of ionized intracellular calcium [Ca++]i in single cells by flow cytometry with the use of a new fluorescent calcium chelator, indo-1, is described. We have developed a dependable in situ calibration technique that indicates a resting [Ca++]i in lymphocytes of 100 nM. The enhanced fluorescence of this probe permits its use at sufficiently low cytoplasmic concentrations that buffering of [Ca++]i transients does not occur. The [Ca++]i response of small resting B lymphocytes to crosslinking of surface antigen receptors by anti-immunoglobulin is heterogeneous. With maximal stimulus, the peak [Ca++]i response occurs in 10 to 20 seconds with most cells reaching levels greater than/1 microM. Mean [Ca++]i falls to between 300 and 800 nM by 100 seconds where it remains for more than 10 min. Anti-delta is a more potent stimulus of increased [Ca++]i than anti-mu in terms of both [Ca++]i level and fraction of B cells responding. Whether this is due to the greater density of surface IgD than IgM, a difference in signal transduction efficiency, or both, is not yet known. Surface immunoglobulin receptors are present in great excess. Less than 3% of surface immunoglobulin is crosslinked at the peak of the [Ca++]i response.
