μ-Opioid receptor (MOR) activation as exerted by authentic serum and urine samples. A. Patient serum (left panel) and urine (right panel). B. Zoom-in of the profiles obtained for blank serum and blank urine. The difference in baseline signal indicates the presence of a matrix effect. Results are shown as mean receptor activation ± standard deviation of one representative experiment, in which each sample was run in duplicate. Note the difference in scales of the y-axes.
