title: Human lymphocyte glucocorticoid receptors reside mainly in the cytoplasm.
abstract: Karyoplasts prepared from human lymphocytes by treatment with cytochalasin B or lymphocytes permeabilized with digitonin contain only 25-40% of the total cellular glucocorticoid binding activity. The presented results thus support the original concept that unfilled steroid hormone receptors are mainly cytoplasmic.
