Effects of mutations on the affinity of mianserin and its analogs

Receptors were transiently expressed in HEK 293 cells, and compound affinity for the receptors was determined in competition binding assays using [3H]LSD. Data are expressed as the mean pKi value ± S.E. mean of three separate experiments.
