Fig. 4.
Effect of cytoplasmic domain deletion on receptor internalization. Cell surface glycoproteins were labeled with [3H]galactose, and receptor internalization was determined as described in Materials and Methods. The values shown are the average of 2 independent determinations. (□) The percentage of surface EPO-R internalized in 40 minutes at 37°C in the absence of EPO (−EPO); (▪) the percentage of surface EPO-R internalized in 40 minutes at 37°C in the presence of EPO (+EPO). Total cell surface glycoproteins internalization was determined from anti–EPO-R immunoprecipitates of lysates from (3H)galactose-labeled parental 32D cells that do not contain an EPO-R (total surface GP).
