“…Other ligand binding assays The specific binding of [ 3 H]‐5′‐N‐ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (adenosine, non‐selective), [ 3 H]‐prazosin (α 1 ‐adrenoceptors, non‐selective), [ 3 H]‐quinuclidi‐nylbenzilate (muscarinic, non‐selective), [ 3 H]‐pyrilamine (his‐tamine, H 1 ), [ 125 I]‐endothelin‐l (endothelin‐1 ET A ), [ 3 H]‐substance P (neurokinin, NK 1 ), [ 3 H]‐leukotriene D 4 (leuko‐triene, cysLT 1 ) were assayed according to the methods of Brans et al (1986), Reader et al (1987), Luthin & Wolfe (1984), Haaksma et al (1990), Ambar et al (1989), McLean et al (1993) and Norman et al (1990), respectively. The receptor sources of these binding assays are bovine striatal membranes, rat forebrain membranes, guinea‐pig bladder membranes, bovine cerebellar membranes, A10 cells, rat submaxillary gland membranes and guinea‐pig lung membranes, respectively.…”
