  • Title: Binding of thyroxine and triiodothyronine in solubilized nuclear extract of human leukocytes.
    Author: Felt V, Jankú M.
    Journal: Endokrinologie; 1977 Oct; 70(2):212-7. PubMed ID: 201457.
    Abstract:
    An in vitro study was carried out of the interaction of thyroidal hormones with leukocytes and with a solubilized extract of the nuclear fraction of human leukocytes. The respective association constants characterising the binding of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) to whole leukocytes are roughly equal (for T3, KA = 3.1 X 10(11) 1/mol and for T4, KA = 4 X 10(11) 1/mol) but a 0.4 KCl extract of the nuclear fraction exhibits a different affinity to T3 (KA = 2.16 X 10(11) 1/mol) in comparison with T4 (KA = 1.3 X 10(10) 1/mol). In the nuclear extract, both hormones are bound with the affinity higher for T3 than for T4. The soluble nuclear binding protein in human leukocytes had a molecular weight 46 000, was chromatographically homogenous in chromatography on Sepharose 2B and Sephadex G200, and exhibited a longlasting stability at -25 degrees C, without any marked change in the binding affinity to thyroidal hormones.
