Figure 5From: Enhanced β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) signaling by adeno-associated viral (AAV)-mediated gene transferβ2AR expression in infected vs. control HEK 293 cells. HEK 293 cells were cultured in DMEM with either 5% CS or 10% FBS then either mock infected (control) or infected with AAV-β2AR/EGFP. Cells were harvested and incubated at 30°C for 20 minutes with a saturating concentration of [3H]DHA to determine β2AR levels as described in Methods. Non-specific binding was defined with 0.1 μM (-)-propranolol. Values are the means ± S.E. from five different experiments.Back to article page
