| Description: | h-5HT3: In brief, Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells stably expressing human 5-HT3 serotonin receptors, grown to confluence in 175 cm2 flasks. Following aspiration of the culture medium, cells were harvested by mechanical agitation in ice cold PBS containing (in mM): (150 NaCl, 8 K2HPO4, 2 KH2PO4, pH 7.4, 37° C.), centrifuged at 4,000 g for 10 min and subsequently stored as a cell pellet at −80 C. When required, the pellet was thawed and resuspended in ice cold homogenization buffer (Tris 50 mM, EGTA 5.0 mM, phenylmethylsulphonylfluoride 0.1 mM, pH 7.6) and homogenized. The homogenate was centrifuged at 48,000 g for 10 minutes at 40° C. The resulting pellet was resuspended in ice cold binding buffer comprising (in mM): NaCl 140, KCl 2.8, CaCl2 1.0; MgCl2, 2.0; HEPES 10 (pH 7.4) and centrifuged as above. |
