Inward currents elicited by stream of fluid during transmitter-induced current oscillations in RNA-injected oocytes of Xenopus laevis.
A stream of fluid elicited an inward current in RNA-injected oocytes of Xenopus laevis during transmitter-induced current oscillations (stream evoked inward current, Ii,st). The Ii,st showed the following characteristics: (1) amplitude and duration (half width time) ranged between 10 and 300 nA and 1 and 3 s, respectively. (2) The Ii,st could be evoked only during transmitter-induced current oscillations; with blockade of the oscillations the Ii,st disappeared. (3) The induction of the Ii,st was independent of the composition of the washing fluid.
