Receptor expression levels were determined from [3H](R)-QNB saturation binding assays on membrane homogenates prepared from stably transfected A9 L cells. PI hydrolysis was carried out in KH buffer to exclude potential effects of choline in media and unknown muscarinic agonists in serum. Data represent the mean ± S.E. from a minimum of three assays, each performed in duplicate.

  • Smax (%) represents the maximal stimulation expressed as the percentage above basal levels. N.A., not applicable.
