✦ Synopsis


Using transferrin-transferrin receptor binding as a model of ligand-receptor binding, we have developed a new and simple binding assay for the solubilized receptor. Solubilized membrane proteins containing transferrin receptor were immobilized by covalent binding to beads having chemical reactive epoxide groups, and then 125I-labeled transferrin was added to the beads. Dose-dependent, ligand-specific, and saturable binding of 125I-labeled transferrin to the immobilized membrane proteins were demonstrated and a Scatchard analysis derived affinity of Kd = 1.8 X 10(-9) M was obtained. These results indicate that the immobilization of receptors onto beads may be useful in a simple binding assay of the solubilized receptor.
