title: Identification of high affinity receptors for vasoactive intestinal peptide on human lymphocytes of B cell lineage.
abstract: Specific, high affinity receptors for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) have been identified on a human pre-B cell line, Nalm 6, and on a human plasma cell line, Dakiki. The single class of high affinity sites exhibited a KD of 12.6 +/- 2.9 nM for VIP in Nalm 6 cells and 9.1 +/- 2.7 nM in Dakiki plasma cells. The homologous peptides, peptide histidine methionine (PHM), growth hormone releasing factor (GHRF), and secretin were all less effective than VIP in competitively inhibiting binding of 125I-VIP to Nalm 6 and Dakiki plasma membranes. The putative receptor was characterized as a 47-kDa protein using covalent cross-linking techniques and VIP stimulated adenylate cyclase in pre-B cells. Human lymphocytes of B cell lineage thus appear to express functional VIP receptors homologous to the receptor identified in T lymphoblasts, brain, pituitary, and intestine.
