Abstract

A method for analyzing cells to determine whether they have substantial numbers of H1 and H2 histamine receptors. Also an assay kit and a composition for conducting such analyses. The assays involve fluorescent polymeric molecules to which a plurality, preferably from about 30 to about 100, of histamine or histamine blocker molecules are attached. Procedures for optimizing several variables which are essential to effective and reliable determinations.
