Human recombinant erythropoietin, labelled with 125I, was saturably bound to high affinity receptors, ka = 1.5 X 10(9) M-1, of bone marrow cells from 10 patients with various haematological disorders. Binding of labelled erythropoietin was specific, with less than 0.01% cross-reactivities of TSH, hCG and renin substrate (angiotensinogen). Binding capacity averaged 3 X 10(-14) moles/10(6) cells. Binding was maximal within 30 min at 37 degrees C. Low binding, less than 15% of that to bone marrow cells, was found to peripheral blood buffy coat, while erythrocytes and BALL cells did not bind labelled erythropoietin. Autoradiography showed binding of label confined to 4-5% of the bone marrow cells.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
