Popis: Trypsin treatment of cultured normal human skin fibroblasts or Hela cells releases material which is retained on a low density lipoprotein (LDL)-Sepharose affinity column, may be eluted from it with 2.5 M KI and, after dialysis, agglutinates LDL or apo-B-coated formocells. Such agglutination is prevented by preincubation of the receptor with LDL in solution or with arginine-rich protamine. Trypsin treatment of “receptor defective” or “receptor negative” mutant fibroblasts releases material which is retained on LDL-Sepharose column but fails to agglutinate LDL-coated formocells. The receptor may be labeled with 6-[ 3 H]-glucosamine·HCl and [ 3 H ]-leucine, it is inactivated by heating at 80°C for 10 min and may be obtained from normal fibroblasts or Hela cells, whether they were cultured in presence or in absence of lipoprotein-containing fetal calf serum.
