Diversity of mRNA expression for muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes and neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits in human mononuclear leukocytes and leukemic cell lines.

Abstract excerpt

Previously, we reported that various levels of acetylcholine (ACh), currently known as a neurotransmitter, are detectable in the blood of several mammals including humans and that most blood ACh originates from T-lymphocytes. To investigate whether ACh in the blood acts on lymphocytes and participates in the modulation of immune responses, we have analyzed the expression of mRNA for muscarinic (Ms) ACh receptor...
