      A. Time course of αC-Conotoxin PrXA (#STC-620) action on muscle α1/β1/γ/δ nAChR. Current amplitudes were plotted as a function of time. Membrane potential was held at –80 mV and oocytes were stimulated by exposure to 100 μM acetylcholine every 100 seconds. 20 nM (for 6 min) αC-Conotoxin PrXA were perfused during the period marked by the bar, as indicated. B. Superimposed traces of muscle nAChR channel current in the absence (black) and presence (green) of 20 nM αC-Conotoxin PrxA (taken from the experiment in A).
