Abstract
To investigate the binding of interferon to human lymphoid cells, we purified human α interferon and radio‐labelled it with iodine −125. Binding at 4°C could be saturated and was inhibited by unlabelled interferon; it was specific for cells of human origin. Dissociation constants for the complex of interferon and receptor site were of the order 10^−9^–10^−11^ M. All human cells tested showed such binding. Occupation of these high‐affinity sites, at 37°C, was compared with the inhibition of cellular growth due to interferon. The most sensitive cell line (Daudi) gave a complete biological response with only a fraction of its sites occupied. Evidence of two sites was found for a line (P3HRI) showing intermediate sensitivity. A relatively insensitive line (Raji) showed no response when all its high‐affinity sites were occupied.
