IGFBP-3 0.21 ± 0.04 0.023 ± 0.005 1.80 ± 0.20
IGFBP-4 0.10 ± 0.03 0.032 ± 0.004 0.28 ± 0.10
IGFBP-5 0.22 ± 0.04 0.040 ± 0.004 3.91 ± 2.40

The relative affinities of hIGF-I, hIGF-II, and the IGFBP-LI, [Leu24,59,60, Ala31]hIGF-I for the various IGFBPs were determined in radioligand-binding assays as described in Materials and Methods. Data represent the mean ± SEM of three separate determinations. The affinity constants of the IGF-I and IGF-II for the type-I and type-II receptors were taken from ref. 34 and 35, respectively, whereas the affinity constants of the IGFBP ligand inhibitor for the IGF receptors were taken from ref. 33.
