Summary Rabbit antisera to sheep prolactin and bovine growth hormone were used in the indirect fluorescent antibody technique on cryostat sections of anterior pituitaries of sheep, ox, rats and mice. It is demonstrated that in sheep and ox prolactin and growth hormone are manufactured by different acidophilic pituitary cells. Though the antisera do not precipitate the analogous hormones of rats and mice in gel diffusion tests, evidence is given for the specificity of the cross-reaction of the antisera with the analogous murine hormones in situ as found with the fluorescent antibody technique.
