Journal ArticleDOI
Intracellularly injected tetanus toxin inhibits exocytosis in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells
TL;DR: Results indicate that tetanus toxin and botulinum neurotoxin type A are normally ineffective in chromaffin cells because they are not bound and internalized, so do not reach their site of action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two different presynaptic calcium currents in mouse motor nerve terminals
Reinhold Penner,Florian Dreyer +1 more
TL;DR: Extracellular recordings of potential changes under the perineural sheath of nerve bundles close to some of the nerve terminals were performed using the M. triangularis sterni of the mouse, indicating the presence of at least two distinct sets of K channels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Botulinum a neurotoxin inhibits non-cholinergic synaptic transmission in mouse spinal cord neurons in culture
TL;DR: It is demonstrated, for the first time using electrophysiological techniques, that botulinum A neurotoxin blocks both excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission in the mammalian central nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tetanus toxin blocks the neuromuscular transmission in vitro like botulinum A toxin.
TL;DR: The paralysis is produced by tetanus toxin itself and not by contaminants as shown by the parallel decrease of toxicity and paralysis following treatment with either antitoxin or brain homogenate, or by the use of spontaneously inactivated toxin.
Book ChapterDOI
Peptide Toxins and Potassium Channels
TL;DR: The dilemma is now that cell membranes, not only excitable ones, are equipped with a variety of K+ channels differing in their gating properties, which often complicates the interpretation of whole-cell K+ currents and their modulation by drugs.
