Binding isotherms for adrenergic ligands in competition for monoiodinated 125I-pindolol were generated as described inMaterials and Methods in membranes prepared from CHO cells expressing the indicated mutant or wild-type receptors. Data were analyzed with the computer program ALLFIT (DeLean et al, 1978) and are presented as dissociation constants. Mean ± S.E. computed from three to seven independent experiments.
