| Abstract | Endogenous calcium release-activated channel (CRAC) currents are usually quite small and not always easy to measure using the patch-clamp technique. While we have, for instance, successfully recorded very small CRAC currents in primary human effector T cells, we have not yet managed to record CRAC in naïve primary human T cells. Many groups, including ours, therefore use $Ca^{2+}$ imaging technologies to analyze CRAC-dependent $Ca^{2+}$ influx. However, $Ca^{2+}$ signals are quite complex and depend on many different transporter activities; thus, it is not trivial to make quantitative statements about one single transporter, in this case CRAC channels. Therefore, a detailed patch-clamp analysis of $I_{CRAC}$ is always preferred. Since many laboratories use $Ca^{2+}$ imaging for $I_{CRAC}$ analysis, we detail here the minimal requirements for reliable measurements. $Ca^{2+}$ signals not only depend on the net $Ca^{2+}$ influx through CRAC channels but also depend on other $Ca^{2+}$ influx mechanisms, $K^{+}$ channels or $Cl^{−}$ channels (which determine the membrane potential), $Ca^{2+}$ export mechanisms like plasma membrane $Ca^{2+}$ ATPase (PMCA), sarco/endoplasmic reticulum $Ca^{2+}$ ATPase (SERCA) or $Na^{+}–Ca^{2+}$ exchangers, and (local) $Ca^{2+}$ buffering often by mitochondria. In this protocol, we summarize a set of experiments that allow (quantitative) statements about CRAC channel activity using $Ca^{2+}$ imaging experiments, including the ability to rule out $Ca^{2+}$ signals from other sources. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
