(.+-.)-125Iodocyanopindolol (ICYP), a new radio-ligand with high affinity and specificity to .beta.-adrenoceptors was used to identify and characterize .beta.-adrenergic receptors in human lymphocytes. Binding of ICYP was saturable with 1.56 .+-. 0.2 fmol ICYP specifically bound/106 cells at maximal occupancy of the sites and of high affinity (KD = 57 .+-. 7.1 pM, N = 4). In contrast to 125Iodohydroxybenzylpindolol, ICYP-binding was not affected by phentolamine (up to 10-4 M) or serotonin (up to 10-5 M). Analysis of inhibition of binding via a pseudo-Scatchard-plot (Hofstee-plot) by .beta.1-selective (practolol, metoprolol) and .beta.2-selective (IPS 339, zinterol) adrenergic drugs resulted in linear plots suggesting the existence of a homogeneous population of .beta.-adrenergic receptors in human lymphocytes. The resulting KD values for practolol (16.8 .mu.M), metoprolol (4.11 .mu.M), zinterol (0.08 .mu.M) and IPS 339 (0.002 .mu.M) suggest that the .beta.-adrenergic receptor present in human lymphocytes is of the .beta.2-subtype. According to its low non-specific binding and its high specificity to .beta.-adrenergic receptors, ICYP appears to be an ideal ligand for long-term studies on the regulation of .beta.-adrenergic receptors of human lymphocytes.
