Low density lipoprotein (LDL) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) bind to receptors on the surface of human fibroblasts and are internalized in coated veiscles. Each of the ligands was studied separately by EM in human fibroblasts using ferritin-LDL as 1 visual probe and 125I-EGF as a 2nd visual probe. A mutant strain of human fibroblasts (J.D.) was described in which LDL does not localize to coated pits and therefore is not internalized. Because LDL and EGF do not compete with each other for binding, in the current studies the 2 ligands were coincubated with normal and mutant cells to visualize their cellular fates. In normal fibroblasts, ferritin-LDL and 125I-EGF both bound preferentially to coated pits at 4.degree. C and both ligands were internalized into endocytotic vesicles and lysosomes. Quantitative studies in normal cells showed that 75% of the coated pits and vesicles that contained 125I-EGF also contained ferritin-LDL, indicating that both ligands enter the cell through the same endocytotic vesicles. In the LDL internalization-mutant J.D. cells, ferritin-LDL did not localize in coated pits and was not internalized, but 125I-EGF bound to coated pits and was internalized just as in normal fibroblasts.
