Specific binding was defined as binding sensitive to inhibition by 10 mM 5-HT. From the biphasic displacement curves (shown, for example, for sodium and choline buffer in Figure 5) two binding components, a high affinity (site 1) and a low-affinity (site 2), could be calculated. Shown are means (±s.e.m.) of the pIC50 values of n=4 experiments.
