Abstract:
A simple electrophysiological method for continuous monitoring of the height of a single renal cell in culture is described. The procedure consists of placing a patch-electrode on the apical cell surface and monitoring the current deflections during osmotic challenge. The mean increase in cell height by 78% hypotonic solution was 2.0 +/- 0.2 microns.
