title: [3H]WEB 2086 labels platelet activating factor receptors in guinea pig and human lung.
abstract: The radiolabelled platelet activating factor (PAF) receptor antagonist, [3H]WEB 2086, bound to specific sites on membrane fractions from homogenised guinea pig and human lungs. The sites on guinea pig and human membranes bound [3H]WEB 2086 with dissociation constants (KD) of 16.8 and 22.6 nM and binding capacities (Bmax) of 203 and 157 fmol/mg protein, respectively. In both species, binding was displaced competitively by PAF, suggesting that the sites labelled by [3H]WEB 2086 are PAF receptors.
