Recently our lab became interested in high-affinity receptor binding using 3H-epibatidine from PerkinElmer. We are thinking of using a single known saturating concentration of 2 nM for each sample homogenate. We are using small amounts of tissue but should be able to use a tritiated radioligand based on previous reports.
If anyone has a protocol for high-affinity nAChR binding or related assays using 3H-epibatidine (or similar radioligands; i.e. 125I-epibatidine), that information would be much appreciated and will not go unnoticed.
Thanks.
