Popis: Bovine growth hormone (50 μg/day) elevated somatomedin C levels in plasma of hypophysectomized rats: the effect was seen 12 h after the first injection and was sustained throughout a 7-day treatment period. When monoclonal antibodies to bovine growth hormone were administered with the hormone the stimulation of somatomedin C levels was markedly enhanced, as were effects on body weight. Each one of a panel of 7 monoclonal antibodies potentiated the actions of the hormone on growth and somatomedin C levels, though the extent and pattern of potentiation varied considerably from one antibody to another. Effects on growth and somatomedin C levels correlated fairly well, though there were some discrepancies.
