Fig. 3From: Cysteinyl Leukotrienes Mediate Histamine Hypersensitivity Ex Vivo by Increasing Histamine Receptor NumbersEffects of leukotriene E4 on number of histamine H1 receptors in murine macrophages. The Scatchard plot represents the binding of [3H]-pyrilamine to murine macrophages, left unstimulated (open circles) or stimulated (filled circles) with LTE4 (100 ng/ml) for 10 min. Scatchard analysis was performed to determine number of receptors per cell as described in Materials and Methods. We measured 1.9 × 105 receptors/cell before stimulation and 4 × 105 receptors/cell after stimulation with a Kd value of 5.5 nM.Back to article page
