Figure 2. In vitro CB2R saturation binding assay of IR700DX-mbc94.
Cells were preincubated with (non-specific binding) or without (total binding) 1 μM of the blocking agent SR144528 for 1 h, and then incubated overnight with an increasing concentration of IR700DX-mbc94 at 37 °C. Cells were then rinsed and the fluorescence intensity was recorded. The specific binding was obtained by the subtraction of non-specific binding from the total binding. The dissociation constant (Kd) and receptor density (Bmax) were estimated from the non-linear fitting of specific binding versus IR700DX-mbc94 concentration using Prism software. Each data point represents the mean ± SD based on triplicate samples.
