A novel bioassay to detect Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ release from single human polymorphonuclear cells.

A novel bioassay to detect Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ release from single human polymorphonuclear cells.

Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) is the endogenous opioid agonist for the N/OFQ receptor or NOP. This receptor system is involved in pain processing but also has a role in immune regulation. Indeed, polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) express mRNA for N/OFQ precursor and are a potential source for circulat...
