title: Identification of pore-forming subunit of P-type calcium channels: an antisense study on rat cerebellar Purkinje cells in culture.
abstract: Treatment of cerebellar neurones in culture with an antisense oligonucleotide (ODN) against alpha1A, reduced the whole-cell P-type calcium channel current relative to mismatch ODN treated controls (p < 0.001). Therefore, AgaIVA (50 nM) reduced whole-cell calcium current in mismatch and antisense treated cells by 70 +/- 4 and 19 +/- 3%, respectively.
