[Immunological study of gonadotropic and prolactin cells in adenohypophysis of the Barbary duck (Cairina moschata L.)].
In both lobes of the pars distalis of the Barbary duck the basophile, alcian-blue positive and PAS negative cells no affected by thyroxine treatment are revealed by anti-HCG-immunserum; they are certainly gonadotropic cells previously named delta-cells in the Pekin duck. In the cephalic lobe only one type of PAS positive cells, is revealed by antiprolactin antiserum; they are abundant and very active in the broody duck.
