Simultaneous intracellular chloride and pH measurements using a GFP-based sensor

Nature Methods 7, 516–518 (1 July 2010) | doi:10.1038/nmeth.1471

Chloride and protons perform important closely related roles in many cellular responses. Here we developed a ratiometric biosensor, ClopHensor, based on a highly chloride-sensitive Aequorea victoria GFP variant that is suited for the combined real-time optical detection of pH changes and chloride fluxes in live cells.
