    Summary
    Saturation analysis resulted in a linear Scatchard plot, suggesting binding to a single class of high affinity receptor binding sites with a Kd of 0.70 nM and a Bmax of 52 fmol/mg protein.
  2. 02LabEx vivo tissueActivity measurement

    In turkey cerebral cortical membranes, mammalian VIP displaced [125I]-VIP binding with a potency similar to PACAP38, PACAP27 and chicken VIP, and much greater than PHI and secretin.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests on turkey brain membranes, mammalian VIP displaced labelled VIP about as well as PACAP, and far better than PHI or secretin.
