  • 5-a Data from Davies et al. (1998), in which wild-type and mutant receptors were expressed in tsA201 cells. Kivalues were obtained in experiments in which Ro15-1788 was used to displace [3H]Ro15-4513, which was present at a concentration equivalent to its Kd value for each receptor type.

  • 5-b IC50 values were obtained based on the ability of Ro15-1788 to inhibit the FNZ potentiation of GABA-induced currents in these receptors.
