Growth hormone-like immunoreactivity in gastrin cells and gastrinomas.
Growth hormone (GH)-immunoreactive material was found to occur in the antral gastrin cells and in scattered cells of the pancreatic islets in several mammalian species, including man. Examination of gastrinomas revealed the majority of tumour cells to display GH-like immunoreactivity.
