Biophysical characterization of Ih in neonatal (P1–4) WT and Hcn-deficient SGNs. (A) Family of representative Ih from WT, WT + 100 µM ZD7288, Hcn1−/−, Hcn2−/−, and Hcn1,2−/− SGNs as indicated. Currents were evoked using the same voltage-clamp protocol shown in Fig. 2. Residual currents in Hcn1,2−/− SGNs were blocked by 100 µM ZD7288. (B) Representative Gh activation curves for Hcn1−/−, Hcn2−/−, and Hcn1,2−/− SGNs fitted with Boltzmann equations. V1/2 and s are indicated on the graphs. (C) Summary of mean maximal Gh. (D) Summary of mean half-activation voltage. (E) Mean slope factor. Number of samples and genotype are indicated below. Error bars equal +1 SD. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001.
