Abstract excerpt
The sequential reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction amplified the mRNA coding for the D3 dopamine receptor (D3R) in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Pharmacological analysis confirmed the binding of the D3R specific ligand to the lymphocytes. In addition, there was a novel shorter variant transcript of the D3R gene generated by alternative splicing in lymphocytes and brain. This variant, termed...
