Specific binding kinetics at 0 degrees C were observed for the apoA-I-containing lipoproteins with or without apoA-II (Kd = 18 or 20 micrograms protein/ml, Bmax = 110 or 120 ng/mg cell protein, respectively). The binding of these lipoproteins to HepG2 cells was competitively inhibited by excess unlabeled apoA-I-containing lipoproteins or apoA-I-phospholipid complexes, but not by apoA-II.phospholipid complexes. Interactions of these lipoproteins with HepG2 cells at 37 degrees C were further examined.
