125I–TNF-α and Daudi cells.
(A) Binding of 125I–TNF-α to untreated Daudi cells. Specific binding (shown) was determined as total binding minus nonspecific binding. This experiment identifies 2 classes of specific binding sites with the binding capacities Bmax1 = 30 fmol/108 cells and Bmax2 = 250 fmol/108 cells with the correspondingKd1 of 5 nM and Kd2 of 110 nM. (B) Binding of 125I–TNF-α to Daudi cells after 1-day incubation with IFN-α. Binding capacity of the high-affinity site remained almost unchanged (Bmax1 = 25 fmol/108 cells, Kd1 = 3 nM), whereas Bmax2 of the low-affinity binding site increased to 550 fmol/108 cells with a correspondingKd2 of 120 nM. (C) Displacement of125I–TNF-α binding to Daudi cells. Incubation of IFN-treated Daudi cells with 125I–TNF-α (2.5 ng/mL) in the presence of increasing concentrations of unlabeled recCD95L (▴, 0.08-9.75 μg/mL), or anti-TNF antibody (●, 0.26-32.5 μg/mL), or recTNF-α (▪, 0.8-97.5 μg/mL), or recCD95:Fc (▾, 1.1-133.1 μg/mL) for 30 minutes at 4°C.
