title: Characterization of human interleukin-3 receptors on a multi-factor-dependent cell line.
abstract: Recombinant human interleukin-3 (hIL-3) was radioiodinated by Bolton-Hunter method with maintenance of biological activity. Using 125I-hIL-3, hIL-3 receptors were characterized on a multi-factor-dependent cell line TF-1. Equilibrium binding studies revealed the existence of a single class of binding sites (667 +/- 306 sites/cell) with a Kd of 173 +/- 25 pM. Affinity labeling of TF-1 cells with 125I-IL-3 yielded two bands of 150 kDa and 85 kDa, implying molecular weights of 135 kDa and 70 kDa for the hIL-3 receptors.
