title: Thyroid hormone action: a cell-culture system responsive to physiological concentrations of thyroid hormones.
abstract: Cells from a rat pituitary tumor cell line will respond in vitro to physiological concentrations of L-thyroxine and L-triiodothyronine. The cells are grown in a cultutre medium that contains serum from a hypothyroid calf. Dose-response relationships of a vacriety of thyronine derivatives indicate that this system has a specificity of response which is similar to that observed in vitro.
