Interaction of the monoclonal antibodies alpha IR-1 and alpha IR-3 with insulin and somatomedin-C receptors.
alpha IR-3, a monoclonal antibody that interacts with the somatomedin-C receptor, inhibited the binding of somatomedin-C, but not of insulin, to human placental membranes and intact IM-9 cells. alpha IR-1, a monoclonal antibody that interacts with the insulin receptor, did not inhibit the binding of either hormone. Inhibition of somatomedin-C binding by alpha IR-3 was mainly due to a decrease in its affinity. 125I-Labeled alpha IR-3 bound specifically to placental membranes and intact IM-9 cells and was inhibited by concentrations of unlabeled alpha IR-3 that were lower than those required to inhibit somatomedin-C binding. [125I]alpha IR-3 binding was also inhibited by somatomedin-C and insulin, but only at very high concentrations. A410, a rabbit antiserum that reacts with both receptors for insulin and somatomedin-C, also inhibited labeled alpha IR-3 binding. alpha IR-I did not. These results help to define the epitopes with which these antibodies interact.
