title: Benzodiazepine receptor binding in vivo with [3H]-Ro 15-1788.
abstract: In vivo benzodiazepine receptor binding has generally been studied by "ex vivo" techniques. In this investigation, we identify the conditions where [3H]-Ro 15-1788 labels benzodiazepine receptors by true "in vivo" binding, i.e. where workable specific to nonspecific ratios are obtained in intact tissues without homogenization or washing. [3H]-Flunitrazepam and [3H]-clonazepam did not exhibit useful in vivo receptor binding.
