Biophysical Characterization and Expression Analysis of Kv1.3 Potassium Channel in Primary Human Leukemic B Cells

Background/Aims: Pharmacological inhibition of the potassium channel Kv1.3 has been shown to selectively kill B cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). Here we aimed to biophysically characterize and compare Kv1.3 channel activity in B cells isolated either from healthy subjec...
