Single channel currents have been recorded from cultured adult human Schwann cells. In both cell-attached and -excised (inside-out) patches, openings from a high-conductance (360 pS) channel were observed; measurements of the zero-current potential indicated that the channel was predominantly select
In cultured Schwann cells, single-channel and whole-cell K+ currents can be activated by depolarizing the membrane to values more negative than -50 mV. In elevated extracellular K+ concentration ([K+]o), however, single-channel activity and whole-cell currents could be recorded at more negative pote
