Abstract

Antibodies raised in mice against β-adrenergic receptors purified from turkey erythrocyte membranes, specifically bind to cells which possess a β-adrenergic receptor and immunoprecipitate radiolabelled purified receptor. These antibodies stimulate the adenylate cyclase activity of the turkey erythrocytes, although they do not compete with the catecholamine hormones for binding to the β-adrenergic receptor. Thus the receptor-antibody interaction, although occuring at another site than the receptor-hormone interaction, may still trigger the enzymatic activity.
