Abbreviations: MFI=median fluorescent intensity; SA=somatostatin analogues.

Flow cytometry was used to quantify SSTR2 and SSTR5 expression in transfected MCF-7 cells. MFI did not change significantly in SSTR-MCF-7 treated with SA up to a maximum concentration of 100 ng ml⁻¹.

^aAverage result over three runs.
