  1. [3H] DAMGO binding was performed in membranes of CHO cells stably expressing the indicated variants. Dissociate constants, K i values, were determined from IC50 values of at least three independent determinations. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the K i values for each drug among the variants. Of the opioids, only M6G (p = 0.0157) showed significant difference with lower K i value of rMOR-1H2 as compared to that of rMOR-1i3 (p < 0.01) in Tukey post hoc analysis.
