Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: to determine if the agonist serotonin and antagonists loxapine and clozapine have an altered potency for four allelic variants (T25N, I197V, A447V, and H452Y) of the human 5HT2A receptor when compared to the wild-type allele. METHODS: The receptor or its variants are studied in an in-vitro functional assay system consisting of a Sf9 insect cell line that is stably transformed with the human wild-type...
