title: [Immunofluorescent localization of beta-lipotropin (beta-LPH) and beta-endorphins in normal and anencephalic human fetal pituitary gland].
abstract: The use of antibodies to alpha-(17-39) ACTH, beta-LPH, alpha- and beta-endorphins has enabled the detection of immunoreactive cells in human fetal pituitary glands as early as the eight week of gestation. The same cells reacted with the different antibodies. Immunoreactive cells were also observed in the pituitary of 6 human anencephalic fetuses.
