Characterization of (3H)-nicotine binding in rodent brain and comparison with the binding of other labelled nicotinic ligands

  • 1. Uppsala Univ. Biomedical Center, Uppsala

Description

In an investigation of the receptor through which nicotine exerts its central actions, radioactively labelled nicotine was used in biochemical in vitro binding studies. Tritium-labelled nicotine (tritium-NIC) binding to mouse hippocampus was studied and the effect of temperature on the binding was analyzed by saturation-binding experiments. The specific tritium-NIC binding was found to be approximately four times higher at 4 C than at 25 C
