TABLE 1

Receptor density and pharmacological profile of human recombinant α1A-, α1B-, and α1A,1B-ARs stably expressed in HEK 293 cells

Parentheses show the density or proportion of each subtype. Competition experiments were done at 4 and 37°C. Data are shown as the mean ± S.E.M. of three to four experiments.
