| Description: | Binding assay was performed at 4 C. in a final volume of 1 ml, and with an incubation time of 30 min. The radioligand [3H]-rac-2-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)-2-imidazoline was used at a concentration equal to the calculated Kd value of 60 nM to give a bound at around 0.1% of the total added radioligand concentration, and a specific binding which represented approximately 70-80% of the total binding. Non-specific binding was defined as the amount of [3H]-rac-2-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)-2-imidazoline bound in the presence of the appropriate unlabelled ligand (10 μM). Competing ligands were tested in a wide range of concentrations (10 μM-30 μM). The final dimethylsulphoxide concentration in the assay was 2%, and it did not affect radioligand binding. |
