title: Characterization of erythropoietin receptor on erythropoietin-unresponsive mouse erythroleukemia cells.
abstract: A membrane receptor for erythropoietin was identified in various erythropoietin-unresponsive mouse erythroleukemia cells. Scatchard analyses of the binding of human 125I-labeled erythropoietin to T3C1-2-0, K-1, GM86 and 707 cells showed the presence of a single class of binding sites with apparent Kd values of 0.27-0.78 nM, which are slightly higher than those of erythropoietin-responsive cells. The number of binding sites varied from 110 to 930 per cell. Crosslinking of 125I-erythropoietin to its binding sites with disuccinimidyl suberate revealed the existence of a single binding protein with molecular mass of 63 kDa. No binding sites with higher molecular mass, as observed in erythropoietin-responsive cells, were detected, nor was any specific binding observed to the non-erythroid hematopoietic cell or to the human erythroleukemia cells examined.
