[3H]Yohimbine binding to WT-Tag19 membranes was performed in 96-well plates for 30 min at room temperature. Data represent the mean ± S.E.M. of three (yohimbine saturation binding) or four (UK-14,304 competition binding) separate experiments performed in duplicate or triplicate. The K d ratio differs from 1.0 with a p < 0.01 (*) or p < 0.002 (**).

    • 1-a  The value reported here is for the three studies with Tag19 WT cell line. The value of 1.67 described in the text is from a larger series of experiments with additional WT cell lines.
