title: Simultaneous autoradiographic and immunohistochemical localization of estrogen and gonadotropin in the rat pituitary.
abstract: A combined autoradiographic and immunohistochemical technique is introduced which is suitable to simultaneously localize hypophyseal sites of nuclear (3-H)-estradiol uptake and anti-hCG-characterized "gonadotropes". Most, but not all, "gonadotropes" show significant nuclear concentration of radioactivity. A large percentage of non-"gonadotropes" also show nuclear uptake of label.
