Cells were homogenized with 20 strokes of a glass tissue grinder, and centrifuged at 1,000 x g for 10 min at 4°C.

These observations, together with the absence of [3H]pCI-DPDPE and [3H]DAMGO binding, suggest the presence of a single population of K opioid receptors on all three thymoma cell lines. I cell line. 1 thymoma cell line (8). 1 cells express K opioid receptors that are negatively coupled to adenylyl cyclase. The lack of correlation between receptor number and maximal inhibition of cyclic AMP production among cell lines is in agreement with results from studies on guinea pig brain. The discrepancy between receptor number and agonist stimulation of low-Km GTPase activity among cell lines suggests that there are differences in receptor-G protein coupling.
