  • 1-a  Log equilibrium dissociation constant of the 125I-hCAL/hCTR2 complex for high-affinity binding.

  • 1-b  95% confidence limits of the estimate. Estimates are the mean of three separate transient transfections.

  • 1-c  Number of high affinity binding sites (picomoles per milligram of protein) as estimated with the RADLIG program. Although an estimate was made of the number of low-affinity binding sites, there were insufficient datapoints to allow a meaningful maximal asymptote to be measured.

  • 1-d  Estimate of the maximal number of binding sites for the antagonist radioligand 125I-AC512.
