dc.description.abstract | Since differential chemical staining has been unsatisfactory for demonstration of specific secretory cell types in the hypophyseal pars distalis of the mouse, the objective of this study was to determine whether the peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunocytochemical procedure might be more effective. Accordingly, representative sections from the hypophyses of 17 female and 15 male adult mice of the Swiss-Webster strain were immunostained, 16 antisera to 5 pituitary hormones or their subunits being utilized. Five secretory cell types were demonstrated. Somatotropes were ovoid to spheroidal and distributed quite generally in the gland except for the “sex zone” where they were scarce. Somatotropes were larger and more numerous in the male than in the female. Mammotropes were polyhedral and also generally distributed in the gland except for the “sex zone” where few were observed. Mammotropes were larger and more numerous in the female than in the male. Corticotropes were small, stellate and few. They were most common near the ventral surface of the gland and formed bilateral centromedial groups in the lateral wings. Thyrotropes were usually large and polyhedral. They were restricted almost solely to the ventral region of the pars distalis. Gonadotropes were polyhedral, and generally distributed, except for aggregation in the cephalomedian “sex zone.” Most gonadotropes appeared to contain both luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. Thus, all secretory cell types recognized in other species can be demonstrated readily in the mouse hypophysis with immunocytochemistry. | en_US |
