Outwardly rectifying Cl- channels in cultured human Jurkat T-lymphocytes were activated by excising a patch of membrane using the inside-out (i/o) patch-clamp configuration and holding at depolarized voltages for prolonged periods of time (1-6 min at +80 mV, 20 degrees C). The single-channel current at +80 mV was 4.5 +/- 0.3 pA and at -80 mV, it was 1.0 +/- 0.4 pA. After activation, the probability of being open (Po) for the lymphocyte channel was voltage independent. Activation of the Cl- channel in lymphocytes was temperature dependent. Nineteen percent of i/o recordings from lymphocytes made at 20 degrees C exhibited Cl- channel activity. In contrast, 49% of recordings made at 30 degrees C showed channel activity. The number of channels in an active patch was not significantly different at the two temperatures. Channel activation in excised, depolarized patches also occurred 20-fold faster at 30 degrees C than at 20 degrees C. There was no marked change in the single-channel conductance at 30 degrees C. Open-channel conductance was blocked by 200 microM indanyloxyacetic acid (IAA) or 1 mM SITS when applied to the intracellular side of the patch. The characteristics of this channel are similar to epithelial outwardly rectifying Cl- channels thought to be involved in fluid secretion.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007189	Indans	Aryl CYCLOPENTANES that are a reduced (protonated) form of INDENES.	Indanones
D007473	Ion Channels	Gated, ion-selective glycoproteins that traverse membranes. The stimulus for ION CHANNEL GATING can be due to a variety of stimuli such as LIGANDS, a TRANSMEMBRANE POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE, mechanical deformation or through INTRACELLULAR SIGNALING PEPTIDES AND PROTEINS.

D008565	Membrane Proteins	Proteins which are found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. They consist of two types, peripheral and integral proteins. They include most membrane-associated enzymes, antigenic proteins, transport proteins, and drug, hormone, and lectin receptors.

D012044	Regression Analysis	Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

D013601	T-Lymphocytes	Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
