Membrane properties of isolated fiber cells from Cx50^−/− and dKO mouse

Cell Type	Cm, pF	Rm, MΩ	Raccess, MΩ	n
Cx50−/−	66.45 ± 3.39	448.00 ± 36.984*	17.88 ± 1.16	29
dKO	73.43 ± 10.1	712.08 ± 79.52	15.79 ± 0.97	12

Data represent means ± SE. Membrane properties of fiber cells were measured immediately following patch rupture at −60 mV in the presence of 0 Ca²⁺ and 2 mM Mg²⁺. C_m, membrane capacitance; R_m, membrane resistance; R_access, access resistance; dKO, mouse lenses lacking both Cx50 and Cx46.

^*P < 0.001, compared with dKO cells by Student's t-test.
