Using a mouse embryonal teratocarcinoma (E.C.) cell line, it was possible to follow the sequence of development of ionic channels during neuronal differentiation, with patch-clamp techniques. 1003 E.C. cells were induced to differentiate into neurons by culturing them in defined medium without foetal calf serum (DARMON et al., 1981). Non-differentiated cells were not excitable and presented mainly 2 types of K+ channels: a Ca2+ activated K+ channel (220 pS in symmetrical K+) and a delayed rectifier (30 pS in symmetrical K+). When the cells start to grow neurites, a low threshold calcium current can be recorded, only if the cell is held at hyperpolarized potentials (-70 to -80 mV). Fully differentiated cells with long neurites presented a complete repertoire of ionic channels: voltage dependent Na+ and Ca2+ channels, Ca2+ activated K+ channel and K+ delayed rectifier.
