A New Sensitive and Specific Bioassay for Lactogenic Hormones: Measurement of Prolactin and Growth Hormone in Human Serum*
Toshiaki Tanaka,Robert P. C. Shiu,Peter W. Gout,Charles T. Beer,Robert L. Noble,Henry G. Friesen +5 more
TL;DR: A bioassay based on the response of the Nb 2 Node lymphoma cells to lactogenic hormones has been developed and the sensitivity of thisBioassay for PRL and hGH in serum exceeds that of RIAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies of insulin, growth hormone and prolactin binding: tissue distribution, species variation and characterization.
TL;DR: The specific binding of 125I-labeled insulin, hGH and oPRL was surveyed in crude membrane preparations of various tissues of the monkey, rat, guinea pig, rabbit, sheep, pigeon, and frog, finding no relation between phylogenetic proximity to man and the level of specific binding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radioreceptor Assay for Prolactin and Other Lactogenic Hormones
TL;DR: A radioreceptor assay with a sensitivity of 5 nanograms per milliliter has been developed for mammalian and avian pituitary prolactin, placental lactogenic hormones, and humnan growth hormone, using a membrane receptor preparation isolated from rabbit mammary glands.
Journal Article
Stimulation of c-myc oncogene expression associated with estrogen-induced proliferation of human breast cancer cells.
TL;DR: Results suggest that regulation of c-myc expression may be an important step in estrogen-induced proliferation of HBC cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Properties of a prolactin receptor from the rabbit mammary gland
TL;DR: Receptors for human, simian, ovine, bovine and murine prolactin, human growth hormone and human placental lactogen have been identified in plasma-membrane-containing subcellular particles isolated from rabbit mammary glands.
