Cells from a human glioblastoma (TC 526) maintained in tissue culture for ten years had a mean membrane potential of 27 +/- 0.9 mV at an external potassium concentration [Ko] of 5.3 mM. When [Ko] was varied between 2.5 and 5.3 mM, membrane potential changes were close to those predicted by the Nerns
