Overview
Fluorescent β2 adrenoceptor antagonist
Excitation wavelength: 633 nm
Emission wavelength: 650 nm
Properties
To determine the KD for ab118169 at β1, β2 and β3 receptors, cells were treated with isoprenaline alone or with ab118169, and the cyclic AMP-induced expression of SPAP measured.
The KD was calculated from the shift of the response curve in the presence of ab118169, compared to the response curve for the agonist alone, or in the presence of 1 µM ab118169, and the cyclic AMP-induced expression of SPAP measured.
The KD was calculated from the rightward shift of the agonist response curve in the presence of ab118169, compared to the response curve for the agonist alone, for β1, β2 and β3 receptor expressing cell lines.
