Single granule
exocytosis and recycling in RBL mucosal mast cells
Granule recycling at the single granule
level can be measured with LysoSensor,
a granule pH sensor. Upon stimulation, granules release. After release,
60% of the granules reacidify and re-release on a 2-3 min. timescale.
Each granule experiences on average 3 release events.
