cAMP generation was determined in the indicated cell type loaded with [3H]adenine for 48 hours as described under Materials and Methods. Results are expressed as a percentage of the maximal stimulation of cAMP accumulation caused by 10 µM PACAP38, which was calculated using the curve-fitting program KaleidaGraph. The EC50 was calculated as the concentration causing half-maximal stimulation with each analog. In each experiment, each value was determined in duplicate, and values given are and means S.E.M. from at least three separate experiments. Abbreviations: see Fig. 1, Table 1 and Table 2 legends.
