A noninvasive microscopic method was used to assess the cell specificity of vasopressin binding within the heterogeneous collecting duct. The binding of a fluorescent vasopressin analog (1-desamino-8-rhodamine-L-lysine vasopressin) to cells of the microperfused rabbit cortical collecting tubule was visualized and quantitated with image-intensified video microscopy and digital image processing. Binding to the basolateral membranes of a subpopulation of cells could be detected within 1-2 min of addition of the fluorescent analog (10 nM) to the peritubular bath. Binding could be prevented or reversed by the addition of a 10-fold excess of the native hormone, which indicates that the fluorescent analog binds specifically to vasopressin receptors. The time course of binding paralleled and slightly preceded hyperpolarization of the lumen-negative transepithelial voltage, an electrical response that is also elicited by the native hormone. Double-label experiments in which the intercalated cell population was stained with fluorescein-labeled peanut lectin revealed that binding of the vasopressin analog was localized to the remaining cell type, the principal cell. Our results support the following conclusions. First, the principal cell constitutes the primary target cell for vasopressin in the rabbit cortical collecting tubule, although the intercalated cell may possess a limited number of receptors at a density below the detection limit of this optical approach. Second, computer-enhanced video microscopy is a powerful, noninvasive method for assessing the kinetics and spatial pattern of hormone binding.
