Abstract
On paraffin or semi-thin sections various anti-LH or anti-TSH sera stain indifferently all the thyrotrophs and the gonadotrophs. Inversely anti-beta-TSH, anti-beta-LH or anti-beta-FSH purified sera permit the discrimination of these two cell populations. The constancy of fixation of the anti-beta-LH and anti-beta-FSH sera on all the gonadotrophs gives evidence of their ability to produce both FSH and LH. However in a few female rats the central gonadotrophs are stained more weakly by anti-beta-FSH serum than by anti-beta-LH serum. The purification of the antisera by adjunction of hormonal antigens (alpha subunits or heterologous hormone) does not enable, with the PAP technique on thin sections, a selective staining of the secretory granules of the thyrotrophs or of the gonadotrophs.Entities:
