We suggest a novel kinetic approach to quantifying receptor-ligand interactions via the cellular transport and/or accumulation of the ligand. The system of cobalamin (Cbl, vitamin B12) transport was used as a model, because Cbl is an obligatory cofactor, taken up by animal cells with the help of a transport protein and a membrane receptor. Bovine transcobalamin (bTC) stimulated the cellular accumulation and transcytosis of radioactive [<sup>57</sup>Co]Cbl in polarized monolayers of Caco-2 cells. ...[more]
