Quantum jumps of conductance during formation of membrane channels at cell-cell junction.
The cell-to-cell conductance of a nascent cell junction increases by stable quantal steps. The steps evidently reflect the opening of stable cell-to-cell channels, all alike and growing progressively in number.
