Sensitivity of cells expressing wild-type SR-BI and SR-BI/CD36 chimeric receptors to cholesterol oxidase. COS-7 cells transiently expressing wild-type SR-BI or SR-BI/CD36 chimeric receptors were prelabeled with [3H]cholesterol and incubated with 0.5 unit of exogenous cholesterol oxidase for 4 h to determine cholesterol oxidase sensitivity. Values represent means ± SD of three independent experiments, each performed in quadruplicate. As determined by one-way ANOVA, *p = 0.01–0.05, **p < 0.005, and ***p < 0.001.
