“…Despite an acceptably low level of non-specific (non-displaceable by (-)-isoprenaline) binding of the order of 15-30% of total binding, saturation binding assays gave unacceptably erratic Scatchard plots. In radioligand association binding studies we observed that equilibrium binding was not attained within 60min, in agreement with others (Brodde et al, 1981;Engel et al, 1981). The large cyano grouping on the radioligand molecule may impede its access to the binding site of the P-adrenoceptor, thus increasing the time to reach equilibrium (cf.…”

“…The spleen and other lymphoid tissues are densely innervated with sympathetic nerve fibers (5), and lymphocytes have #2-adrenergic receptors that couple to stimulation of adenylate cyclase (10). Numerous in vitro studies have shown that treatment of human lymphocytes with the f3-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol (and other agents that elevate intracellular cAMP concentrations) reduces mitogen-induced increases in intracellular inositol-(1,4,5)-trisphosphate and calcium, production of IL-2 and IFN, expression of IL-2 receptors, immune cytolysis, antibody production, and plaque formation on sheep red blood cells, as well as IL-1 production by monocytes (for review, 1 1-13).…”

“…The restoration of an agonist-promoted downregulation of the ß-adrenoceptors by glucocorticoids has also been reported in human and equine mononuclear leukocytes (neutrophils and lymphocytes) [6][7][8]. It is generally supposed that these cells contain a homogeneous population of the ß 2 -subtype [9], which couples via G s protein to the adenylyl cyclase system, and reflect drugand disease-induced changes in other solid tissues, e.g., heart and myometrium [10,11]. However, it is not known whether the lymphocyte ß 2 -adrenergic receptors (ß 2 AR) can be enhanced by prolonged intravenously administered short-acting dexamethasone.…”
