Abstract
Summary
The mid-part of the inguinal mammary gland of non-primed virgin, me-testric albino rats, weighing 270 ± 10 g, is sensitive to 0.001 I.U./ml of prolactin when cultivated in enriched synthetic medium M-199 for a period of 2 days. This method may replace the standard crop-gland method for prolactin assay and other routine tests for prolactin, because of its reproducibility, high accuracy and specificity. Its quantitative aspects are being worked out.
