Binding assays were performed as described under Experimental Procedures using either CHO/Ltk cells transfected with the corresponding AVP/OT receptor or native tissues constitutively expressing this receptor. Inhibition constants (Ki) were determined from competition experiments and calculated according to the Cheng and Prusoff (1973) equation. Values are mean ± S.D. of at least three determinations.
