The highest degree of homology was found transcribed by reverse transcriptase (avian myeloblastosis with the 5-HT1E subtype (70%) and the 5-HTlDa (63%) and virus). PCR was done on single-stranded cDNA as follows: 5-HTlDp3 (60%) receptors. RNA for this gene was detected in 940C for 1 min, 500C for 2 min, and 72TC for 3 min for 40 the human brain but was not detected in kidney, liver, spleen, cycles.

The 5-HT1B receptor has been into vector pcEXV-3 (21), and stable cell lines were obtained cloned (13-15) and is homologous to the 5-HT1Dp receptor by cotransfection (19).
