Concentration-effect data for agonist stimulation of [35S]GTPγS of wild-type and mutant receptors expressed in HEK 293 cells

Data represent the mean of at least three independent experiments performed in triplicate. EC50 values were determined from concentration-effect curves using Prism software. The values in parentheses are the 95% confidence intervals (CI). Statistical analysis was performed by comparing the log EC50 of the mutant receptor with that of the wild-type CB1 receptors using the Student t test to determine the level of significance.
