title: Brain receptor autoradiography with [3H]-YM 09151-2: a ligand for labeling dopamine D-2 receptors.
abstract: Using the technique of in vitro receptor autoradiography to slide-mounted tissue sections, we studied the suitability of [3H]-YM-09151-2 as a ligand for labeling D-2 receptors in adult F344 rat brains. Specific [3H]-YM-09151-2 binding accounted for 70-80% of the total bound ligand and reached equilibrium after a 60-90 minute incubation. Scatchard analysis revealed a Kd of 626 pM. The apparent Bmax was 23.2 fmol/tissue section. Autoradiographs demonstrated high grain densities in the striatum and olfactory tubercle. Diffuse specific binding was also observed in the cortex.
