Abstract excerpt
Scatchard analysis of the binding of EGF to its receptor yields concave up plots that indicate the presence of two classes of binding sites. However, how two independent classes of sites arise from the expression of a single EGF receptor protein has never been adequately explained. Using a new analytical approach involving the simultaneous fitting of binding isotherms from cells expressing increasing levels of...
