title: Binding of 3H-aldosterone and 3H-dexamethasone in primary monolayer cultures of kidney cortical collecting tubule (CCT) cells.
abstract: Specific binding of corticosteroids in cultured CCT cells was measured as a function of time, of temperature, of pH, and of concentration. Scatchard analysis revealed the existence of two species of binding sites for both, 3H-aldosterone type I A: KD = 2.3.10(-9) M, N = 33.10(-17) mol/10(4) cells; type I B: KD = 51.10(-9) M, N = 55.10(-17) mol/10(4) cells) and dexamethasone (type II A: KD = 4.7.10(-9) M, N = 2.3.10(17) mol/10(4) cells; type II B: KD = 22.10(-9) M, N = 6.5.10(-17) mol/10(4) cells). The data demonstrate that CCT cells in primary monolayer culture express corticosteroid binding sites similar to cells of the CCT in vivo.
