Abstract: | The conditions of the binding of acetylcholine have been studied in lymphocytes isolated from rat peripheral lymph nodes. Acetylcholine appeared to penetrate the lymphocyte membrane. We have confirmed the presence of muscarinic receptors, which, however, are not involved in transport of acetylcholine through the membrane. The receptors of the nicotine type on lymphocytes are demonstrated by the decrease of acetylcholine binding in the presence of a specific antagonist, tubocurarine. These nicotinic receptors may be involved in acetylcholine transport into the cells. |
