Nav1.5 electrophysiology

CHO Instant Cells expressing the human cardiac Nav1.5 sodium channel were characterized regarding electrophysiological and pharmacological properties using conventional whole cell recordings.


Representative current traces were recorded from Nav1.5-CHO Instant Cells. Typical currents were evoked by a voltage-step protocol starting from a holding potential of -100 mV in 10 ms pulses to test voltages from -60 to +80 mV in 10 mV increments. The current-voltage relationship of the Instant Cells are virtually identical to that observed with a running cell culture.

Nav1.5 pharmacology

Dose-response relationships for different sodium channel blockers were obtained in whole-cell patch clamp recordings.
