Two-electrode voltage clamp in Xenopus oocytes
Two-electrode voltage clamp measures whole-oocyte membrane current from Xenopus oocytes expressing exogenous ion channels, receptors, or transporters; one intracellular microelectrode senses membrane voltage, and the second injects current so the amplifier can hold the membrane at command voltages while recording the compensating current as the functional readout. The method is suited to Xenopus oocytes because their large size supports microinjection and intracellular electrode impalement, but the large membrane area can limit voltage-clamp speed and accuracy, especially for large or fast currents.
