Specific binding reactions were monitored by a new enzymatic method which employs cofactor labeled ligands. The ligands biotin and 2+dinitrofluorobenzene were coupled covalently to a derivative of NAD, nicotinamide 6-(2-aminoethylamino) purine dinucleotide (AENAD) to provide cofactor conjugates whic

β¦ Synopsis
The binding of IL-2 and IL-3 to the factor-dependent cell lines CTB6 and 32D, respectively, was determined using biotinylated ligand detected by the addition of a streptavidin/alkaline phosphatase conjugate and amplified with a phosphatase amplification system. Binding of both ligands was detectable after incubation with as little as 20 fmol of ligand and could be inhibited with a 10-fold molar excess of nonbiotinylated ligand. No binding was observed when biotinylated ligand was incubated with a receptor negative cell line (PC-12) and IL-2 was unable to compete with biotinylated IL-3 binding to 32D cells, further demonstrating specificity. These studies indicate that biotinylated ligands can be used as a nonradioactive method to detect specific, high-affinity cell surface receptors.
