Characterization of autonomic receptors in isolated human parotid acinar cells
J. A. Mangos
Isolated human parotid acinar cells have been used for the in vitro
characterization of the muscarinic cholinergic and alpha- and
beta-adrenergic receptors of these cells. The agonist-antagonist
interactions at the receptor level were studied, and the role of the
receptor-activated cellular systems in the process of secretion was
characterized.
