[Opiate receptor sites in neuronal and glial cell lines in culture].

Abstract

A stereospecific saturable high affinity binding of 3H-naloxone has been found in 3 glial and 2 neuronal cell lines. Kinetic study of binding seems to indicate only one class of receptor sites in the 5 cell lines. Acute exposure to morphine (1 X 10(-5)M) concurrent with PGE1-induced stimulation of adenylate cyclase did not result in a decrease of the cAMP level in any cell line tested.
