Abstract
In both normal and neoplastic epithelial cells from human thymus glands and thymomas, respectively, we found voltage-gated sodium and potassium channels that resemble the adult-type Na channel and the delayed outward rectifier K channel, respectively, of human skeletal muscle and mammalian nervous system. These voltage-gated ion channels might be part of a communication system between epithelial cells and other components of the microenvironment of the thymus.Entities:
