Radioisotopic studies of human chorionic gonadotrophin in the mouse ovary.
The tissue localization of 125I-HCG was studied in intact mice. 125I-HCG concentrated in the thecal and interstitial tissues of the ovary. Differential uptake occurred in the corpora lutea which was dependent on the age and vascularization of the luteal body.
