The binding of ligands to the WT β2AR and β12-chimeric receptors were determined by competition with 50pM 125I-CYP. The data were analyzed using the nonlinear least-squares regression computer program as described under Experimental Procedures. The results are shown as the mean ± S.E. from three to four separate experiments.
