Abstract excerpt
We have investigated androgen-binding properties of the androgen receptor (AR) in cultured suprapubic skin fibroblasts from six subjects with Kennedy's disease (X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy). Binding of the synthetic androgen methyltrienolone (R1881) was measured in a monolayer assay, and Scatchard analysis was performed to determine the total number of binding sites and the apparent binding...
