Outward potassium current oscillations in macrophage polykaryons: extracellular calcium entry and calcium-induced calcium release

Outward current oscillations associated with transient membrane hyperpolarizations were induced in murine macrophage polykaryons by membrane depolarization in the absence of external Na+. Oscillations corresponded to a cyclic activation of Ca2+-dependent K+ currents (IKCa) probably correlated with v...
