剖切开的卵母细胞凡士林隙电压钳技术，可以进行数据的快速高分辨率，低噪音，增加控制权的内部解决方案和外部解决方案组成，并记录稳定在相对 ​​长的协议19。这些优势设置这项技术除了标准的双电极电压钳和膜片钳技术。虽然专门的设备是必要的，该协议是比较困难的，一旦系统进行了优化，非常少的问题发生。这使得钠（HNA V 1.5）和其它快速激活信道可重复的记录。...

专门的电压钳位技术允许离子流在控制膜电位的记录。广泛使用双电极电压钳（TEVC）和膜片钳技术提供许多离子通道的特性可靠的电生理信息。然而，这两种方法都有缺点，防止收购可靠的数据进行快速电压门控钠离子通道等快速激活通道，膜如爪蟾卵母细胞。该Bezanilla和史蒂芬妮因而实验室开发的剖切开凡士林隙电压钳技术（COVG）的卵母细胞2。该技术已被广泛应用于录音，的Na +，K +和Ca 2 +通道3-8。 在COVG记录，异源蛋白表达的卵母细胞的膜被分成三个区域。离子电流数据从卵母细胞作为的顶部区域记录浴周围的顶部区域被钳位到一个命令的潜力，这可以容易地和迅速地改变。中间区域防泄漏电流通过被钳位到电位相同的顶部区域9。底部区域是卵母细胞的开口（切开的）通过使用皂苷溶液或套管发生。化学或膜中的底部区域手册开口允许内部潜力，这被钳位到地的控制权，并呈现与下部腔室的溶液中的细胞内是连续的。灌注液进入下部腔室可以调节内部环境的属性，而在顶室溶液交换改变的外部环境。 <img alt="图1" fo:content-width="5in" fo:src="/files/ftp_upload/51040/51040fig1highres.jpg" src="/files/ftp_upload/51040/51040fig1.jpg" width="500px" /> 图1。卵母细胞剖切开的电压钳巴斯安装图（A）顶部往下看彼此分开了三次澡的。各室的COVG尺寸显示在图中。 （ 二）在测试位置的浴场设置的侧视图。 <a href="http://www.jove.com/files/ftp_upload/51040/51040fig1highres.jpg" target="_blank">点击这里查看大图</a> 。 该COVG技术的优点包括低电流噪声（1 nA在3千赫），外部媒体的离子组成，以调节内部媒体，快速的时间分辨率（衰变20-100微秒的时间常数的能力控制瞬态的能力），以及稳定的录音数小时9。的缺点是，它需要专门的设备，并且更难以进行对比2电极电压钳（TEVC）10。 而COVG方法需要高度专业化的设备和复杂的程序要素，它可以允许用于收购有价值的能电生理数据。这个数据，如门控电流，具有快速动力学和尾电流4，可以记录一些不与其他电压钳位协议，包括通道破败的相关问题。轻微的修改，COVG设置可以允许使用温度控制器和电压钳位荧光（VCF）的。列入COVG组件中的电压钳荧光元素可以通过赋予监察蛋白质构象的变化，同时记录电流11-13的能力，增强数据输出。

the xenopus oocyte cut-open vaseline gap voltage-clamp technique with fluorometry

剖切开的卵母细胞凡士林间隙（COVG）电压钳技术允许对异源的离子通道在卵母细胞的电生理和动力学特性分析。从开封设置录音是解决低幅度门控电流，快速离子电流的激活和失活时特别有用。通过双电极电压钳（TEVC）技术的主要好处包括提高夹紧的速度，提高了信号 - 噪声比，并以调制胞内和细胞外环境的能力。 在这里，我们采用人类心脏钠通道（HNA V 1.5），表达在非洲爪蟾卵母细胞，以展示开封的设置和协议，以及所需要的加电压钳位荧光能力的修改。 快速激活离子通道，如海航V 1.5的属性，不能完全接近室温解决使用TEVC，在whic卵母细胞的膜h的全部内容被夹紧，使电压控制困难。然而，在剖切开的技术中，在细胞膜中的一小部分的隔离允许为需要同时防止用膜片钳技术相关联的信道破落准确地记录快速动力学的快速装夹。 与COVG技术中，离子通道的动力学和电生理学特性相结合可以通过使用电压钳荧光，其中蛋白质运动经由的细胞外施加荧光团，插入基因编码荧光蛋白的，或者非天然氨基酸掺入半胱氨酸缀跟踪可以进一步测定入息1的区域。这个额外的数据产生关于该蛋白质的电压依赖性的构象重排通过改变周围的荧光分子的微环境动力学信息。
