beta-Adrenergic receptor binding in crude porcine adipose tissue plasma membranes
1992
Mersmann, H.J. | McNeel, R.L.
Methods have been detailed to prepare a crude membrane fraction from isolated porcine adipose tissue cells. Adipocytes were obtained after incubation of 5 g of adipose tissue slices with 4,500 units of a selected lot of collagenase in a total volume of 15 mL at 37 degrees C for 90 min. There was no bovine serum albumin present during cell isolation because albumin did not enhance cell yield or yield of lipolytic activity. Isolated cells were lysed by exposure to hypotonic conditions in the presence of 7.5 millimole ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA) and .8 millimole phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF). A 30,000 X g centrifugal pellet was used as the crude membrane preparation. Binding of tritiated dihydroalprenolol (DHA), a beta-adrenergic antagonist, was measured in the presence of 7.5 millimole EGTA and .2 millimole PMSF, because these protease inhibitors improved specific binding by approximately 50% to > 150 fmol/mg of protein and decreased nonspecific binding to less than 10% at 2.5 nM DHA.
