TABLE 1

Affinities, expressed as KH, KL, and Ki values, of selected adenosine receptor agonists and antagonists to A3 receptors in human lymphocytes Displacement of [3H]MRE 3008F20 binding was determined in the absence and presence of 100 μM GTP. KH and KL are the Ki values of the high- and low-affinity states for agonists, respectively. RH indicates the percentage of A3 receptors in the high affinity state ± S.E.M.
