title: [Effect of active immunization against 17 beta-estradiol on cytosolic estrogen receptors in the rat uterus].
abstract: Following active immunization of female rats against estradiol-17 beta, the amount of specific binding sites for estrogen decreased in uterine cytosol as a function of antiserum titres. They were undetected when antibodies titres were higher than 1/2000. Moreover, a binding protein specific for estradiol-17 beta appeared. Estradiol binding was not displaced with an excess of unlabeled DES nor precipitated with protamine sulfate. The sedimentation coefficient of the hormone-protein complex (7-8 S) was not modified in medium of high ionic strength (0.4 M KCl). That protein represented antibodies to Estradiol-17 beta which could be precipitated with antiserum to rat IgG.
