Cell-surface binding sites for high density lipoproteins do not mediate efflux of cholesterol from human fibroblasts in tissue culture.

The present investigation was designed to test the hypothesis that binding sites for high density lipoproteins (HDL3) on cell surfaces of peripheral tissues mediate cholesterol efflux from these cells. This hypothesis had been formulated to explain two observations: 1) HDL3 binding to peripheral cel...
