Abstract
The synthetic peptide SLTCLVKGFY, corresponding to the 364–373 amino acid sequence of the human IgG heavy chain (Immunorphin), was found to compete with [125I] β-endorphin for binding by high-affinity receptors on T lymphocytes isolated from the blood of healthy donors (K i0.6 nM). The fragments 3–10, 4–10, 5–10, and 6–10 of Immunorphin also inhibited the binding (K i2.2, 3.4, 8.0, and 15 nM, respectively). Specificity of these receptors was studied: they turned out to be insensitive to naloxone and [Met]enkephaline and, therefore, are not opioid. The K dvalues of the specific binding of 125I-labeled Immunorphin and its 6–10 fragment to the receptor were found to be 7.4 and 36.3 nM, respectively.
