title: Melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptors on cultured guinea-pig melanocytes.
abstract: Guinea-pig melanocytes in mixed epidermal cell cultures bind melanocyte-stimulating hormone in a distinct focal surface area in their perinuclear field and thus follow the same pattern previously described for Cloudman melanoma cells. The labeling index ranged from 18 to 34%. Pretreatment of cultures with trypsin leads to destruction of melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptors whereas neuraminidase has no such effect.
