## Abstract Two major subtypes of adenosine receptors occur in different tissues which have been distinguished by pharmacological and biochemical criteria. The A~1~ adenosine receptor has a highβaffinity for adenosine and mediates inhibition of adenylyl cyclase, whereas the A~2~ adenosine receptor

The four adenosine receptor subtypes have been stably transfected into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells allowing for comparative studies in a similar cellular background, using radioligand binding studies (A 1 , A 2A , A 3 ) or adenylyl cyclase activity assays (A 2B ). We are currently using the tr
Adenosine may play a role in the airflow obstruction in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Although the mechanism of adenosine-induced bronchoconstriction has been well explored, little is known about the identity of adenosine-receptors involved. Studies on rabbit and rat airways sugg
A 2A adenosine receptors are expressed on immune cells including neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, monocytes/macrophages, and mast cells. Activation of A 2A receptors on these cells stimulates an increase in [cyclic AMP] i and causes a diminution of inflammatory responses. In mast cells, degran
We investigated the role of the A 3 adenosine receptor in cells of the astroglial lineage (both rat primary astrocytes and human astrocytoma ADF cells) by means of the selective A 3 agonists N 6 -(3iodobenzyl)-adenosine-5Β’-N-methyluronamide (IB-MECA) and CI-IB-MECA, and by utilizing the selective A
## Abstract We explored the possibility of heteroβoligomerization between G~i/o~ proteinβcoupled A~1~ adenosine receptor (A~1~R) and G~q~ proteinβcoupled P2Y~1~ receptor (P2Y~1~R) in transfected cultured cells by a new bioluminescence resonance energy transfer technology (BRET^2^) in addition to in
