Graphical abstractBuffer P/G/BSA: 0,1 M Phosphate, 0,25% of non specific gamma globulin and 0,5% of bovin serum albumin, pH 7,4. Veronal Buffer: 0,05 M sodium barbital and 0,01% tween 20, pH 8,6. PEG: Polyethylene glycol 6000. A) RBA: IA binding rate measured as tracer binding percent (B%) over a cutoff of nonspecific binding. B) RIA: B and F results are transformed in plots of B/F = f (ligand dose, M) to calculate the respective K0 values. The molar concentration of the tracer in the test must be lower than the inverse of K0 value. This condition precludes the preparation of the respective labeled competitors to perform specific single RIAs for each homologous ligand (Berzofsky-Schechter [1]).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
