TABLE 2

Voltage dependence of activation and inactivation of mosquito sodium channels

The voltage dependences of conductance and inactivation were fitted with a two-state Boltzmann equation to determine V1/2, the voltage for half-maximal conductance or inactivation, and k, the slope factor for conductance or inactivation. The values in the table represent the mean ± S.E.M., and the number of oocytes was 6–16. The asterisks indicate significant differences as determined by one-way analysis of variance (P < 0.05) with Scheffe’s post hoc analysis.
