[Ligandin localization in the gonadal cells of rats at various stages of ontogeny].
Ligandin, a protein binding some carcinogens, steroids and other substances in the rat liver, has been found by means of indirect immunofluorescence in the gonad cells of different types: embryonic and mature Leidig cells in testes, ovarian thecal cells at the maturation stages (theca interna, atretic follicles and interstitial cells) and luteal cells of corpus luteum at pregnancy. Ligandin is found, thus, in cells which belong to various lines of cell differentiation. The functional role of ligandin is discussed.
