Abstract:
The transmembrane potential (Em) of J774.2 macrophage cells measured by microelectrodes was -24.1 +/- 0.7 mV (mean +/- SEM). Em measured by lipophilic ion distribution was -35 +/- 2 mV or -40 +/- 2 mV, using a cation or anion, respectively. By any method, colchicine reduced Em by approximately 3 mV.
