Abstract
The presence of neurophysin, oxytocin and vasopressin in the bovine corpus luteum was examined immunocytochemically. Tissue blocks of corpora lutea from pregnant and non-pregnant animals were fixed with glutaraldehyde/paraformaldehyde fixative and immunostained by the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) method. The simultaneous presence of immunoreactive oxytocin and immunoreactive oxytocin-neurophysin was demonstrated in large luteal cells of non-pregnant animals, while no staining for vasopressin or vasopressin-neurophysin was observed. None of the peptides were detected in the corpus luteum of pregnant animals. The small luteal cells were not found to be stainable at any time.Entities:
