The antigenic activity and mobility of bovine pituitary hormones; follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), growth hormone (GH), luteinizing hormone (LH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and melanophore stimulating hormone (MSH) were studied with the aid of agar gel diffusion and electrophoresis. MSH and ACTH were the only hormones not demonstrating antigenicity. Tests by electrophoresis showed "gamma" mobility of the pituitary hormones exhibiting antigenic activity. The observation of antigenic determinants exhibiting identity with immunoglobulins suggests that the bovine pituitary gland houses immunoglobulin molecule and the various pituitary hormones.
借助琼脂凝胶扩散和电泳技术，对牛垂体激素；促卵泡激素（FSH）、生长激素（GH）、促黄体生成素（LH）、促甲状腺激素（TSH）、促肾上腺皮质激素（ACTH）和促黑素细胞激素（MSH）的抗原活性和迁移率进行了研究。MSH和ACTH是仅有的未表现出抗原性的激素。电泳测试表明，具有抗原活性的垂体激素呈现“γ”迁移率。对抗原决定簇与免疫球蛋白具有同一性的观察表明，牛垂体中存在免疫球蛋白分子和各种垂体激素。
