Normal interaction of plasma retinol-binding protein from retinitis pigmentosa with bovine pigment epithelium.
The interaction between retinol-binding protein and normal bovine pigment epithelium has been studied with the use of iodinated retinol-binding protein isolated from the plasma of patients with the recessive form of retinitis pigmentosa and of normal subjects. It is concluded that the capacity of the plasma carrier protein to interact with the retinol-binding protein receptor of bovine pigment epithelium is unimpaired in retinitis pigmentosa with autosomal recessive inheritance.
