| Popis: | The immunological relatedness of human and porcine growth hormones is examined by means of labelled human growth hormone and guinea pig antiserum. 1) Labelled human growth hormone is found in the precipitate after reaction with antiserum against porcine growth hormone. Parallel dilution curves are obtained with antisera against human and porcine growth hormones. 2) After addition of antiserum against porcine growth hormone, all the radioactivity is eluted from Sephadex G-100 with the void volume. 3) The addition of an excess of porcine hormone displaces labelled human growth hormone from antibodies against human growth hormone to the same extent as an excess of non-labelled human growth hormone does. 4) The standard radioimmunoprecipitation curves for porcine and human growth hormones obtained in the assay system for the human hormone are parallel in slope, provided that the human hormone and our preparation of the porcine hormone are introduced at a proportion of 1 to 560. 5) In a double diffusion test in agarose gel layers, with human and porcine growth hormones diffusing against guinea pig anti-porcine serum, cross reaction is observed. The conclusion is drawn that with guinea pig antisera, human and porcine growth hormones behave immunologically in a similar fashion. Labelled human growth hormone seems to have only such immunodeterminants as are also found in porcine growth hormone. |
