The binding of 125-labeled human .alpha.2-macroglobulin-methylamine to adult rat hepatocytes in primary culture was studied at 4.degree. C. Cells which were in culture for 4 h exhibited steady-state ligand binding after 1 h, a receptor number of 22,400 receptors/cell, and a Kd of 0.6 nM. Adult rat hepatocytes exhibited a significant decrease in receptor number with increased time in primary culture with < 10% of the initial number of receptors remaining after 2 days (P < 0.01). In autopsy studies of mice injected i.v. with 125I-labeled .alpha.2-macroglobulin-methylamine, > 90% of the cleared ligand was found in the liver. Autoradiography of the liver demonstrated that 80% of the ligand was cleared by hepatocytes. The heptocytes are the primary pathway for clearance from the circulation of receptor recognized .alpha.2-macroglobulin.
