TABLE III. The Binding of 125I-Labeled LDL to Hepatic Membranes from Normal and Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia Subjects.

Hepatic membranes (56–144 μg protein) were incubated at 37°C for 30 min with 10 μg 125I-labeled LDL in the absence (total) and presence (nonspecific) of 20-fold excess unlabeled LDL. Values for the normal membranes represent the mean ± S.E.

Binding (ng/mg membrane protein)

total (% normal) nonspecific (% normal) specific (% normal)
Normal (n = 3) 1757 ± 88 78 ± 66 975 ± 100
Patient 1 1440 (82%) 853 (109%) 588 (60%)
Patient 2 1391 (79%) 684 (87%) 707 (73%)
