Abstract excerpt
Recombinant soluble human CD4 (rsCD4) has been used in iodinated form to study the interaction of CD4 with its ligands. However, the utility of [125I]-rsCD4 is limited because rsCD4 is inefficiently iodinated and the iodinated protein is poorly active. The iodination properties of rsCD4 most likely reflect the poor accessibility of the tyrosine residues, apparent from the available X-ray structures. We have...
