“…These BPs bind hGH with very low affinity (10 6 -10 5 M Ϫ1 ) and high capacity (between 2 and 15 µg/ml) and are thought not to be related to the GH receptor (Baumann and Shaw, 1990;Tar et al, 1990). However, there are high molecular weight complexes in murine serum (Smith and Talamantes, 1987) and also in the culture medium of cells transfected with rabbit GH-BP cDNA (Edery et al, 1993). These data suggest that circulating multimers of GH-BP may arise after proteolysis of the membrane bound GH receptor.…”

“…To date, molecular biology provides the means to detect GHR mutations (4-6). In addition, it must be shown by transfection experiments that a mutation is functionally relevant (22). This, of course, would be the ideal approach the gold standardto classify clearly a patient as having primary GHIS.…”

“…Forty-eight hours after transfection, the cells were washed twice with PBS, fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde, and permeabilized with Triton as described previously (37) or were left nonpermeabilized.
