Effects of Chemosensory Stimulation Membrane Currents Recorded with the Perforated-Patch Method from Cultured Rat Glomus Cells
Abstract
We are using primary cultures of dissociated cells from the rat carotid body to study chemotransduction mechanisms. A major focus has been the electrophysiological characterization of the glomus (or type 1) cells which are the presumed sensors of the chemosensory stimuli, hypoxia, hypercapnia, and acidity (Biscoe and Duchen 1990; Lopez-Barneo et al 1988; Stea and Nurse 1991a; etc.). Using the giga-seal patch-clamp technique (Hamill et al 1981) …
