| | In Vitro Electrophysiological Analysis of the Human TASK-1 and TASK-3 Channels Via Two-Electrode Voltage Clamp Technique in Xenopus laevis Oocytes |
| Description: | Xenopus laevis oocytes were selected as described elsewhere by way of illustration [Decher et al., FEBS Lett. 492, 84-89 (2001)]. Subsequently, the oocytes were injected with 0.5-5 ng of a cRNA solution coding for TASK-1 or TASK-3. For the electrophysiological analysis of the channel proteins expressed in the oocytes, the two-electrode voltage clamp technique [St hmer, Methods Enzymol. 207, 319-339 (1992)] was used. The measurements were conducted as described [Decher et al., FEBS Lett. 492, 84-89 (2001)] at room temperature (21-22° C.) using a Turbo TEC 10CD amplifier (NPI), recorded at 2 kHz and filtered with 0.4 kHz. Substance administration was performed using a gravitation-driven perfusion system. Here, the oocyte is located in a measuring chamber and exposed to the solvent stream of 10 ml/min. The level in the measuring chamber is monitored and regulated by sucking off the solution using a peristaltic pump. |
