Long-term survival of xenografted neonatal cardiomyocytes by adenovirus-mediated CTLA4-Ig expression and CD40 blockade.

abstract：:An experimental approach is described to quantitate inhomogeneity in extracellular K concentration ([K+]out) in the presence of ischemia and to relate this inhomogeneity to the electrophysiologic changes. Extracellular potassium concentration and local direct-current electrograms from the same sites were measured in i...
