HEK 293 cells stably expressing the human serotonin transporter (hSERT) were grown on coverslips, preincubated with [(3)H]5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), and superfused. Substrates of the hSERT [e.g., p-chloroamphetamine (PCA)], increased the basal efflux of [(3)H]5-HT in a concentration-dependent manner. 5-HT reuptake blockers
