  • Stable H1 receptor-expressing cells were stimulated with histamine in the presence of compounds, and intracellular calcium release was measured in calcium flux assays using a fluorescent dye. Corrected IC50: IC50/(1 + [L]/EC50) (nM) with L as agonist concentration. Values are mean ± S.E.M. from three independent experiments.
