cDNA libraries have been constructed in plasmid (pBR322) and bacteriophage (XgtlO) vectors with poly (A+) RNA isolated from the nonfusing mouse muscle cel! line BC3H-1. The libraries were screened with a restriction fragment derived from a genomic clone coding for a human acetylcholine receptor y su
Activation of a mouse in vitro neuromuscular synapse produces a reduction in synaptic efficacy which is greater for nonactivated than for activated inputs to the myotubes. This has been shown to require thrombin and thrombin receptor activation and to involve a protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated step.
## Abstract Mice with deletions of nicotinic ACh receptor (nAChR) subunit genes are valuable models for studying nAChR functions. We could previously show in the mouse superior cervical ganglion (SCG) that the absence of distinct subunits affects the functional properties of receptors. Here, we hav
