Choleragenoid, a biologically inactive protein which is derived from the exotoxin of Vibrio cholerae, blocks the binding of 125I-labeled cholera toxin to liver mem-branes as effectively as the parent toxin. The binding of 125I-labeled cholera toxin to membranes which have been incu-bated with choleragenoid and subsequently washed is sup-pressed to the same extent as when the membranes are incu-bated with cholera toxin. The rate of dissociation of the cholera toxin-membrane complex is the same whether it is measured in the presence of cholera toxin or of choleragenoid. Choleragenoid does not elicit a lipolytic response in isolated fat cells. When the cells are preincubated for 15 min at 24 with choleragenoid, there is potent inhibitionof cholera toxin induced lipolysis. The concentration of choleragenoid re-quired to inhibit by 50% the lipolytic response of 0.2/xg/ml of cholera toxin is about 40 ng/ml (7 X 10-10 m). Choleragenoid exhibits virtually no inhibitory effect if the fat cells are in-cubated (15 min, 24) first with cholera toxin. The abilityof choleragenoid to block the lipolytic activity of cholera toxin is explicable in terms of its ability to block the binding of the toxin to the membrane receptor by its own occupancy of that
