Orphanin FQ/nociceptin binds to functionally coupled ORL1 receptors on human immune cell lines and alters peripheral blood mononuclear cell proliferation

Orphanin FQ/nociceptin (OFQ/N) has been shown to modulate nociception, responses to stress and anxiety. We investigated OFQ/N function in human immune cells. We find that monocytic U937, T lymphocytic CEM, and MOLT-4 cell lines express OFQ/N binding sites at levels comparable to that of human SH-SY5...
