Effect of adrenocorticotropin on binding of endogeneous corticosteroid by chicken bursal cells.
An intravenous injection of ACTH stimulated a maximal increase in the serum concentration of corticosterone within 60 to 65 min. This increase was closely paralleled by the amount of corticosterone which was bound to be cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions of chicken bursal cells.
