| Description: | CHO-K1 cell lines stably expressing human Kv1.5 channels were prepared in the following manner.Full-length human Kv1.5 cDNA was cloned from a human heart cDNA library (produced by Stratagene). The obtained human Kv1.5 sequence corresponds to the sequence described in FASEB J. 5, 331-337 (1991).The obtained human Kv1.5 cDNA was inserted into a plasmid encoding a CMV promoter and a G418 resistance marker to produce a Kv1.5 expression vector. The human Kv1.5 expression vector was transfected into CHO-K1 cells by the lipofectamine method. After culturing the cells in an F-12 medium (produced by Invitrogen Corp.) containing 10% FBS (produced by Invitrogen Corp.) for 3 or 4 days, the medium was replaced with a FBS-containing F-12 medium that included 1,000 ug/ml of G418 (produced by Invitrogen Corp.), and single colonies were isolated. The amount of Kv1.5 channel expression in the single colonies was quantified at the mRNA level by RT-PCR and then quantified at the protein level. |
