How can you use “pre-pulse” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

3Bshows the maximum Ca 2+current during the test pulse plotted as a function of the pre-pulse potential.
To measure inactivation, cells were held at -80 mV, then stepped to a series of depolarizing (pre-pulse) voltages, from -70 mV to +70 mV in 10 mV increments, for 2.5 seconds to promote inactivation, then stepped to -50 mV for 100 ms to close non-inactivated channels, then stepped for 200 ms to the test potential of +20 mV to measure Ca 2+currents, then stepped to the -80 mV holding potential for 5 seconds to permit recovery from inactivation.
Since the pre-pulse was not sufficiently long for inactivation to reach steady-state, we are not certain whether the observed incomplete inactivation reflects a component of the γ 1 null Ca 2+current that inactivates extremely slowly or a "truly" non-inactivating component.
This can be seen by comparing the amplitude of the Ca 2+current during the test pulse in traces 1, 2, and 3, corresponding to pre-pulse potentials to -70 mV, +30 mV, and +60 mV, respectively.
In γ 1 null cells, inactivation reached a plateau when the pre-pulse potential was more positive than +20 mV (-8.
