## Abstract The binding of ^125^IβTyr^4^ bombesin was investigated on plasma membranes of 8 human breast cancer cell lines and 2 longβterm cultures of normal human breast epithelial cells. Scatchard plots were compatible with highβaffinity, singleβsite class of receptors in 3 cell lines (K~D~ of 0.
Several human breast cancer cell lines express the calcitonin receptor (CTR), but this has not been demonstrated previously in clinical breast cancers. We examined 18 primary breast cancers by reverse transcription-PCR, for expression of CTR and of the bone proteins osteopontin (OPN) and bone sialop
