Quantitative immunocytochemical double labeling patterns of alpha receptors with beta receptors in taste receptor Mean 1 represents the mean percentage of alpha adrenoceptor subtype labeled cells which co-expressed the β-2 receptor per cross-sectioned taste bud. Mean 2 represents the mean percentage of the β-2 receptor subtype labeled cells which co-expressed the corresponding alpha adrenoceptor per cross-sectioned taste bud. Means are expressed ± SE.
