title: [Cytoimmunological detection of corticotropic and melanotropic cells in the human fetal adenohypophysis in early stages of development].
abstract: The corticotropic and melanotropic cells of eight human adenohypophyses from eight to twelve weeks-old foetuses were identified with immunofluorescent and immunoenzymatic procedures. Anti-ACTH (1-24), anti-ACTH (17-39), anti-beta-LPH and anti-beta-MSH immunsera were electively fixed by the same cell type. These cortico-melanotropic cells, localized on the edge of glandular cords in contact with vascular mesenchym, both in the anterior and posterior walls of Rathke's pouch, were PAS-positive, cyanophilic, and plombic hematoxylin positive.
