Induction of H-Y antigen in the gonads of male quail embryos by diethylstilbestrol.
In quails, H-Y antigen is induced by oestrogens in the gonads of the originally H-Y negative homogametic sex but not in non-gonadal tissues. This is consistent with the view that oestrogens act via H-Y antigen in the organization of the avian gonad.
