Membrane properties of isolated mudpuppy taste cells
The voltage-dependent currents of isolated Necturus lingual cells were studied using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. Nongustatory surface epithelial cells had only passive membrane properties. Small, spherical cells resembling basal cells responded to depolarizing voltage steps with predominantly outward K+ currents. Taste receptor cells generated both outward and inw...
متن کاملMouse taste cells with glialike membrane properties.
Taste buds are sensory structures made up by tightly packed, specialized epithelial cells called taste cells. Taste cells are functionally heterogeneous, and a large proportion of them fire action potentials during chemotransduction. In view of the narrow intercellular spaces within the taste bud, it is expected that the ionic composition of the extracellular fluid surrounding taste cells may b...
متن کاملActive and passive electrical properties of single bullfrog atrial cells
Single cells from the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) atrium have been prepared by using a modification of the enzymatic dispersion procedure described by Bagby et al. (1971. Nature [Long.]. 234:351--352) and Fay and Delise (1973. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 70:641--645). Visualization of relaxed cells via phase-contrast or Nomarski optics (magnification, 400--600) indicates that cells range betw...
متن کاملVasopressin modulates membrane properties of taste cells isolated from bullfrogs.
The effect of arginine vasopressin (AVP) on the membrane properties was analyzed in isolated bullfrog taste cells using a perforated whole-cell patch-clamp technique. AVP (100 nM) induced three kinds of responses in rod-type taste cells: appearance of inward current, inhibition of voltage ramp-induced outward current and enhancement of the outward current. The Ca(2+)-ionophore ionomycin (3 micr...
متن کاملElectrical coupling and passive membrane properties of AII amacrine cells.
AII amacrine cells in the mammalian retina are connected via electrical synapses to on-cone bipolar cells and to other AII amacrine cells. To understand synaptic integration in these interneurons, we need information about the junctional conductance (g(j)), the membrane resistance (r(m)), the membrane capacitance (C(m)), and the cytoplasmic resistivity (R(i)). Due to the extensive electrical co...
