Use-Dependent Removal of the 4-Aminopyridine-Induced Block of the Transient K+ Current in Rat Dorsal Root Ganglia

Effects of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) on the transient K+ current (IA) was studied in rat sensory neurons using the whole cell patch-clamp technique. The amplitude of IA was reduced by 4-AP. The steady-state inactivation curve for IA was shifted in the positive direction by 4-AP, suggesting that the blo...
