Using antibodies against human STH and ovine prolactine, it is possible to identify somatotropic and prolactin cells in the pituitary anterior lobe of three species of monkeys: Erythrocebus patas, Cercopithecus aethiops and Papio hamadryas. The somatotropic cells are numerous in both adult and infant male or female monkeys, especially in the lateral lobes of the pituitary gland. The prolactin cells can be distinguished in all pituitaries studied, regardless age or sex; indeed there are more numerous in adult females. The immunofluorescent technique reveals a more great number of cells of somatotropic and prolactin type than the classical tetrachrome technique.
使用抗人生长激素（STH）和羊催乳素的抗体，能够在三种猴子（赤猴、黑猩猩和阿拉伯狒狒）的垂体前叶中识别生长激素细胞和催乳素细胞。生长激素细胞在成年和幼年的雄性或雌性猴子中都很多，尤其是在垂体的外侧叶。在所研究的所有垂体中都可以区分出催乳素细胞，无论年龄或性别；实际上，成年雌性中的催乳素细胞更多。免疫荧光技术显示，生长激素型和催乳素型细胞的数量比传统的四色技术显示的更多。
