Second-Generation Histamine H1 Receptor Antagonists Suppress Delayed Rectifier K+-Channel Currents in Murine Thymocytes
Background/Aims. Voltage-dependent potassium channels (Kv1.3) are predominantly expressed in lymphocyte plasma membranes. These channels are critical for the activation and proliferation of lymphocytes. Since second-generation antihistamines are lipophilic and exert immunomodulatory effects, they ar...
