Localization of Acetylcholine Receptor by 125 I-Labeled α-Bungarotoxin Binding at Mouse Motor Endplates

Abstract

Exposed sternomastoid muscles of anaesthetized mice were bathed in 125 I-labeled α-bungarotoxin until all neurally evoked muscle contractions were eliminated. The distribution of label was then determined by electron microscope autoradiography. It was found that the label was localized at the top of the junctional folds, i.e., at the postjunctional membrane nearest the axon. Since the α-bungarotoxin had fully eliminated the physiological muscle response, these results indicate that the active acetylcholine receptor occupies a limited area of the junctional folds and is not distributed uniformly throughout this membrane. Specialized membrane densities seem to coincide with the labeled regions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
