Cells (1–10 × 106/ml) were incubated with 75 pM125I-[dTyr6,βAla11,Phe13,Nle14]Bn(6-14) for 45 min at 22°C. Increasing concentrations of unlabeled peptide were added, and the dose-inhibition curves were analyzed by a least-squares curve-fitting program (LIGAND). Kivalues were calculated using the method of Cheng and Prusoff (Cheng and Prusoff, 1973) and are the means ± S.E. from at least three experiments performed in duplicate. a Binding data for hBRS-3 transfected cells are from (Mantey et al., 1997); >10,000 means the affinity was greater than 10,000 nM.
