end-to-end binding
2.AIM: To study whether there is a high affinity receptor for advanced glycosylation end product (AGEP) on thoracic aorta smooth muscle cells (ASMC) and to test effect of diltiazem on elevation of cytosolic free calcium induced by AGEP. METHODS: Interactions of AGEP bovine serum albumin (BSA) with ASMC were studied with radioligand binding assay and cytosolic free calcium ([Ca 2+ ] i) was examined in cultured ASMC with Fura 2 AM.
