Abstract excerpt
Studies using the radio-labeled nicotinic receptor antagonist [(125)I]-alpha-bungarotoxin, which binds to alpha7 subunit containing nicotinic receptors, have demonstrated that mouse strains vary considerably in the number of alpha7-containing nicotinic receptors in brain. In addition, brain region specific differences in alpha-bungarotoxin binding between the mouse strains C3H/Ibg and DBA/2 have been linked to...
