The properties of {beta}-adrenoceptors present on the cultured bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells were studied by radioligand binding. These cells contain a high density of {beta}-adrenoceptors ({approximately} 16,000 receptors/cell) having high affinity (Kd 18 pM) for {sup 125}I-iodocyanopindolol (ICYP). Competition binding experiments suggested the presence of more than two subtype of {beta}-adrenoceptors. 25% of the total population of receptors was found to be of {beta}{sub 1}-type. The remaining 75% represented a mixed population containing what is suggested to be a mixture of {beta}{sub 2}- and atypical {beta}-adrenoceptors.
