J Comp Neurol 395:493-509. 1998..The similarities of their properties indicate that the wealth of information generated over decades in the goldfish can be extrapolated to the zebrafish...
A charybdotoxin-insensitive conductance in human T lymphocytes: T cell membrane potential is set by distinct K+ channelsJ A Verheugen
Laboratoire de Neurobiologie Cellulaire et Moleculaire, INSERM U261, Institut Pasteur, Paris, France
J Physiol 503:317-31. 1997..The enhanced Ca2+ response of activated cells, which express increased numbers of K(Ca) channels, is in addition subject to modulation by blockers which prevent the hyperpolarization during the Ca2+ rise mediated by these channels...
