Androgen receptors in human melanoma cell lines IIB-MEL-LES and IIB-MEL-IAN and in human melanoma metastases
The presence and characteristics of androgen receptors (ARs) have been described by our group in one human melanoma cell line. We have now investigated their presence in two other human melanoma cell lines, IIB-MEL-LES and IIB-MEL-IAN, as well as in biopsies from human metastatic melanoma. Scatchard...

The presence and characteristics of androgen receptors (ARs) have been described by our group in one human melanoma cell line. We have now investigated their presence in two other human melanoma cell lines, IIB-MEL-LES and IIB-MEL-IAN, as well as in biopsies from human metastatic melanoma. Scatchard analysis revealed a single binding component for both cell lines, the apparent dissociation constant obtained being 15 nM, with a binding capacity of 280 fmol/mg total cell protein, for IIB-MEL-LES cells and 14 nM, with a binding capacity of 206 fmol/mg total cell protein for IIB-MEL-IAN cells. When specificity was assessed, not only androgen and anti-androgen but also non-androgenic compounds were able to compete for [3H]R1881 binding, as seen before.
