transport from HDL (60). <strong>The</strong> epitopes recognised by these antibodies have<br />

yet to be identified, we therefore studied their b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g to the panel <strong>of</strong> SR-<strong>BI</strong><br />

mutants. We would expect that if a mutation falls with<strong>in</strong> a mAb epitope it<br />

would perturb its b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g. Table 3-2 displays the geometric mean fluorescent<br />

<strong>in</strong>tensity (GMFI) <strong>of</strong> polyclonal SR-<strong>BI</strong>, sE2, mAb 3D5 and C11 bound to each<br />

<strong>of</strong> the mutants. Figure 3-7 displays the data expressed as a function <strong>of</strong> cell<br />

surface SR-<strong>BI</strong> expression. For each reagent tested, GMFI was proportional to<br />

mutant SR-<strong>BI</strong> cell surface expression, <strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g that the mutations had not<br />

altered <strong>in</strong>teraction with mAb or E2.
