Optogenetic Electrophysiology Recording of Cells with Light-Dependent Ion Channels

Source: Grimm, C., et al. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings for electrophysiological determination of ion selectivity in channelrhodopsins. J. Vis. Exp. (2017) In this video, embryonic kidney cell cultures expressing light-dependent ion channel proteins fused with a fluorescent reporter demonstrate the effect of light on ion movement. Whole-cell patch clamp is used to monitor the movement of ions.

Abstract

Source: Grimm, C., et al. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings for electrophysiological determination of ion selectivity in channelrhodopsins. J. Vis. Exp. (2017) In this video, embryonic kidney cell cultures expressing light-dependent ion channel proteins fused with a fluorescent reporter demonstrate the effect of light on ion movement. Whole-cell patch clamp is used to monitor the movement of ions.
