title: Radio-ligand-receptor assay for human chorionic somatomammotropin (hCS), ovine prolactin (oPRL) and human growth hormone (hGH) using rat ventral prostate particles.
abstract: A radio-ligand-receptor assay with a sensitivity of 6.5 x 10(-3) mIU of ovine prolactin per tube has been developed for human chorionic somatomammotropin (hCS) and other lactogenic hormones, using as specific ligand the microsomal pellet of rat ventral prostate. This particulate fraction has proved more suitable than the same fraction obtained from rabbit mammary gland in the evaluation of the prolactin-like activity of purified preparations of hCS.
