  • K i values were calculated from IC50 values determined from competition curves using [3H]diprenorphine or [3H]nociceptin (values denoted by an asterisk), according toCheng and Prussof (1973) equation. ED50 values represent concentration of unlabeled ligand that half-maximally inhibits forskolin-induced accumulation of cAMP in recombinant CHO cells expressing wild-type or hybrid receptors. Each value is mean ± S.E.M. Number of separate estimates is indicated in parentheses.
