TABLE 1

Comparison of binding affinities of ABT-288, ABT-239, and ciproxifan at histamine receptors

Data are expressed as the mean Ki (nM) with the associated 95% confidence limit in parentheses (n = 3–36 independent experiments performed in duplicate). H3 receptors were stably expressed in C6 cells; H1, H2, and H4 receptors were stably expressed in HEK cells.
