## Abstract During embryonic and early postnatal development, the chick leg muscle cells undergo a series of changes in their electrical responses in the following sequence: passive response, plateau response, plateau plus spike response and spike response. This suggests that the electrogenetic mec

Changes in membrane fluidity during myogenesis have been studied by fluorescence microscopy of individual cells growing in monolayer cultures of embryonic chick skeletal muscle cells. Membrane fluidity was determined by the techniques of fluorescence photobleaching recovery (FPR), with the use of a
Electrogenesis of embryonic chick skeletal muscle cells differentiated in monolayer cultures was investigated. Muscle fibers in uitro generate spike potentials similar to those of fibers in wino. However, other responses, plateaux resembling those i n heart muscle, are also elicited. These results s
## Abstract The membrane properties of individual skeletal muscle cells were studied with intracellular microelectrodes as the fibers developed, __in vitro__, from mononucleated precursor cells. Passive membrane constants were determined from analysis of transmembrane potential responses to pulses
Chloride-dependent action potentials were elicited from embryonic skeletal muscle fibers of the chick during the last week of in ovo development. The duration of the action potentials was extremely long (>8 sec). The action potentials were reversibly blocked by the stilbene derivative, SITS, a speci
Previous pharmacological experiments have indicated the existence of ATP P2X receptors in chick embryonic skeletal muscles. In this study we cloned a P2X 4 -like cDNA encoding a protein of 385 amino acids, which shares 75% and 76% identity with rat and human P2X 4 receptors, respectively. Functional
