Serum Positive for the Autoantibody against the -Adrenoceptor from Chinese Patients with Congestive Heart Failure Decreases in Mouse Cardiac Myocytes

Figure 2

Comparison of AAB-β 1-negative serum and -positive serum from patients with heart failure (dilution at 1 : 20) on the mean current of outward K+  currents at a voltage of 50 mV. Compared to currents at normal bath solution and AAB-β 1-negative serum ( cells, dilution at 1 : 20), AAB-β 1-positive serum ( cells, dilution at 1 : 20) had no effect on . on the AAB-β 1-positive serum decreased significantly compared to the normal bath solution and had also significant decrease compared to the AAB-β 1-negative serum .
