title: [Depression of TTX-blocking effect on Na+ current by 8A5, an anti-TTX monoclonal antibody].
abstract: Anti-TTX effect of 8A5 on Na+ current was observed by whole-cell voltage-clamp technique in NG108-15 cells. The results show that 8A5 inhibits TTX action efficiently: (1) When 1 mumol/L TTX is added to the normal perfusion solution INa disappears immediately, and can be restored to the control level with futher addition of 8A5. (2) When the cell is pre-incubated with 1 mumol/L 8A5, 1 mumol/L TTX can only cause a partial inhibition of INa.
