Abstract
The effect of receptor desensitization produced by carbachol on the antagonist action of alpha-bungarotoxin has been studied in cultured skeletal muscle from chick embryos. In control preparations, alpha-bungarotoxin irreversibly blocked depolarization produced by carbachol. However, after receptor desensitization, alpha-bungarotoxin was no longer effective in blocking the response to carbachol. It is concluded that desensitization protects cholinoceptors from the action of alpha-bungarotoxin.Entities:
