[3H]DAMGO binding in membranes from transfected cells

CloneKDBmax
nM pmol/mg protein
MOR-1 1.75  ± 0.440.16  ± 0.04
MOR-1C 0.57  ± 0.140.41  ± 0.07
MOR-1D 0.35  ± 0.070.54  ± 0.06
MOR-1E 0.74  ± 0.110.25  ± 0.04

MOR-1, MOR-1C, MOR-1D, orMOR-1E was transfected into CHO cells, and stable transfectants were isolated. [3H]DAMGO binding was then examined in stable lines expressing either MOR-1 orMOR-1C. Saturation studies were performed and the binding parameters were established by nonlinear regression analysis. Results are the mean ± S.E. of at least three independent determinations.
