Abstract excerpt
Mouse B lymphocytes express several nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes, their exact functions being not clearly understood. Here we show that α7 nAChR was present in about 60%, while α4β2 and α9(α10) nAChRs in about 10% and 20% of mouse spleen B lymphocytes, respectively; Balb/c and C57Bl/6 mice possessed different relative amounts of these nAChR subtypes. α4β2 and α7, but not α9(α10) nAChRs, were...
