Abstract
A specific and sensitive radioligand assay for growth hormone with female rat liver plasma membranes is presented. Growth hormones of different species are able to displace labelled human growth hormone from membrane binding sites with parallel standard curves. Human prolactin V-L-S ≠ 1 and the international human prolactin standard MRC 71/222 do not affect the assay. Human prolactin preparations with different growth hormone content displace human growth hormone tracer only to the same extent as they contain growth hormone when measured by radioimmunoassay.Keywords
