Chemical cross-linking of wild-type IL-5 and IL-5 (E12K) to IL-5 receptors. COS cells transfected with human IL-5 receptor α and βc chain cDNAs were incubated with ∼70 nM 125I-IL-5 or 125I-IL-5 (E12K) for 2 h at 4°C in the presence or absence of a 100-fold molar excess of unlabeled IL-5, then cross-linked with 1 mM BS3. After detergent lysis of cells, soluble extracts were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and radiolabeled bands visualized by a PhosphoImager.
