Abstract
Cells from two human pituitary tumors were grown in capillary culture units and prolactin production was measured. A single unit could produce 3 mg of prolactin over a 4-month period. The cultured cells responded to TRH exposure by increasing their rate of prolactin secretion. Cultivation of cells in capillary units could be the method of choice for reducing the shortage of human hormones.Entities:
