Binding parameters of [I125]cyanopindolol derived from saturation experiments carried out in membrane of HEK293 cells stably expressing β2AR and treated with different cholesterol-depleting agents Saturation experiments were analyzed by nonlinear regression using the GraphPad-Prism program. Bmax and Kd parameters were derived from the curve fitting. Values represent the means ± S.E. of four independent experiments performed in triplicate.
