Using antibodies against human growth hormone and ovine prolactine, it is possible to identify somatotropic and prolactin cells in the anterior lobe of the hypophysis (pars distalis) of the monkey, Macacus irus.Abstract:
Using antibodies against human growth hormone and ovine prolactine, it is possible to identify somatotropic and prolactin cells in the anterior lobe of the hypophysis (pars distalis) of the monkey, Macacus irus. These cells are present in both adult and infant male and female monkeys. The density of the somatotropic cells is greater at the periphery of the anterior lobe. Prolactin cells are of two types: one type is dispersed throughout the pars distalis and consists of small and large cells, the other type forms clusters of large cells.read more

In cow anterior pituitary, growth hormone and prolactin can be packed in separate granules of the same cell.
TL;DR: The ultrastructural localization of growth hormone and prolactin in cow anterior pituitary was studied by double immunocytochemical labeling using specific antibodies and protein A-gold particles of different sizes to suggest that in these cells the two hormones are processed in the same Golgi cisternae and that mechanism(s) exist to sort out the two hormone from each other.

Colocalization of prolactin and growth hormone within specific adenohypophyseal cells in male, female, and lactating female rats.
TL;DR: The localization of PRL and GH within adenohypophysial cells has been investigated with immunocytochemical methodology using colloidal gold of different sizes as discussed by the authors, using morphological criteria at the light and electron microscope levels.

Immunohistochemical and electron microscopical studies of mitotic adenohypophysial cells in different ages of rats.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the mitotic rates of the six cell types are age-dependent.

The prolactin and growth-hormone producing cells of the guinea-pig pituitary. Electron microscopic study using immunocytochemical means.
TL;DR: In this article, different immunohistochemical techniques were used to identify the prolactin and growth hormone producing cells (STH cells) in the pituitary of normal guinea pigs at the ultrastructural level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrastructural immunocytochemical localization of prolactin and growth hormone in the porcine pituitary
TL;DR: It is confirmed that the two hormones, prolactin and growth hormone, are located in different cells, and that under normal physiological conditions no one cell can synthesize and store both hormones simultaneously.

TL;DR: Histologic sections of the adenohypophyses of humans and rhesus monkeys were examined by differential staining methods and by an immunofluorescent procedure and the same cells showed affinity for the fluorescent immune serum to hGH.

TL;DR: The results indicate that in primates, as well as in other mammals, prolactin is immunochemically distinguishable from growth homone.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated further that prolactin and GH reside in separate cells in the primate pituitary and that the concentration of these two hormones varies depending upon age, sex, or stage of the reproductive cycle of the animal.
