Immunocytochemical localization of hormones in the cell types of the adenohypophysis.
After a short review about the possibilities to localize immunohistochemically some adenohypophyseal hormones in light and electron microscope the author point out some actual problems of pituitary immunocytochemistry by the way of cell types studied in an in vitro system. There are demonstrated that in monolayer culture corticotrophs survive for at least 54 days. Light and electron microscope studies were made to demonstrate these hormones in the pituitary cells.
