Estrogen-primed immature rat uterus--a tissue control for histochemical estrogen receptor assay.
The luminal epithelial cells of the uterus of immature rats, which have been primed with 17 beta-estradiol, contain a high level of cytoplasmic estrogen receptors and, therefore, can be used as a convenient receptor-rich tissue control for histochemical assays.
