Pertussis toxin effects on β-AR-mediated PI-3K activation. Twenty-six hours after transfection, cells were incubated with 0.1 μg/mL pertussis toxin for 18 hours. Cells were stimulated for 5 minutes with 1 μM isoproterenol prior to processing for TLC as described in Figure 1 and Section 2. PI-3K activity was determined by the level of [ 3 2 𝑃 ] -PI produced by the stimulation of 𝛽 1 -AR (a), 𝛽 2 -AR (b), 𝛽 2 × 𝛽 1 -AR (c), and 𝛽 1 × 𝛽 2 -AR expressing cells. ( 𝑛 = 3 - 4 ; 𝑃 < . 0 5 versus basal and PTX-Iso conditions).
