Abstract
The sensitivity of several cultured neuroblastoma cell lines toL-glutamate (Glu) and its analogues has been studied with the whole-cell patch clamp technique. Only in the neuroblastoma cell line N2A Glu induced a concentration dependent response consisting of an inward current. In addition, N2A cells responded to superfusion with kainate, quisqualate orN-methyl-D-aspartate, but to a lesser degree than to Glu. It is concluded that N2A cells could be useful as anin vitro model to study excitatory amino acid properties.Entities:
