Automated planar patch-clamp.
Ion channels are integral membrane proteins that regulate the flow of ions across the plasma membrane and the membranes of intracellular organelles of both excitable and non-excitable cells. Ion channels are vital to a wide variety of biological processes and are prominent components of the nervous system and cardiovascular system, as well as controlling many metabolic functions. Furthermore, i...
متن کاملWhole-Cell Patch-Clamp Recordings
The patch-clamp recording technique, which measures ionic currents under voltage clamp, was designed to study small patches of membranes in which near perfect control of the transmembrane voltage can be achieved readily. The recent application of patch-clamp methodology to the analysis of whole-cell current actually defies many of the original design requirements. Nevertheless, whole-cell recor...
متن کاملPatch clamp detection in capillary electrophoresis.
We describe a capillary electrophoresis-patch clamp (CE-PC) analysis of biomolecules that activate ligand-gated ion channels. CE-PC offers a powerful means for identifying receptor ligands based on the combination of the characteristic receptor responses they evoke and their differential electrophoretic migration rates. Corner frequencies, membrane reversal potentials, and mean and unitary sing...
متن کاملCleaning patch-clamp pipettes for immediate reuse
Patch-clamp recording has enabled single-cell electrical, morphological and genetic studies at unparalleled resolution. Yet it remains a laborious and low-throughput technique, making it largely impractical for large-scale measurements such as cell type and connectivity characterization of neurons in the brain. Specifically, the technique is critically limited by the ubiquitous practice of manu...
متن کاملPatch-Clamp Evidence for Calcium Channels
To test the hypothesis that Ca channel plays a role in renal epithelial Ca transport, we exposed and patched apical membranes of freshly microdissected rabbit connecting tubules (CNTs). Single channel Ca currents were recorded with Ba as the charge carrier. In the cell-attached mode, 8-Br-cAMP increased the open-state probability (P.) to 0.6%. In excised, inside-out patches, P. was low spontane...
