Heterogeneity of human growth hormone and prolactin secreted in vitro: Immunoassay and radioreceptor assay correlations.

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism

Abstract

Gel filtration of sera and of in vitro pituitary incubation media from a normal subject and from subjects with pituitary tumors or physiologically elevated growth hormone (hGH) and/or prolactin (hPRL) levels, has been performed. Heterogeneous immunoreactive forms of both hormones with comparable elution profiles in sera and in in vitro incubation media were identified. In each instance the most retarded component ('little hPRL' and 'little hGH') migrated identically with the respective radioiodinated pituitary standard and constituted the major component identified. Several components of intermediate mobility were identified and characterized as 'big hPRL', 'big hGH,' and 'big big hGH'. In addition, a void volume immunoreactive peak was often identified. No interconversion was demonstrated on refiltration of prolactin tumor sera or normal pituitary incubation media. Radioreceptor activity utilizing pregnant rabbit liver membranes for hGH and rabbit mammary membranes for hPRL indicates comparable immunologic and receptor activity in all forms identified following gel filtration of prolactin tumor sera (for hPRL) and normal pituitary incubation media (for hGH). Only for the larger species of HGH, identified by gel filtration of c...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
