Depolarization-induced exocytosis. (A) Transient Cl currents (bottom) and increase in cell capacitance (middle) triggered by a train of ten 500-ms depolarizations from −70 to 0 mV in an infected β-cell. (Inset) A part of the recording (marked by the dashed box) on an expanded time base, including five transient Cl currents. Note that the driving force for Cl ions is inward (corresponding to an upward deflection of the current trace) at 0 mV and outward at −70 mV with the solutions used. While some transient currents were observed between the depolarization pulses, no events were observed before the train. (B) Number of Cl current transients (N) elicited by the individual depolarization pulses during trains of 10 500-ms depolarizations from −70 to 0 mV during a first train (black bars) and a second train applied 2 min later (white bars, n = 5).
