    Notes: Summary In Araldite sections of male rat pituitaries, stained after embedding by the unlabeled antibody enzyme method with antisera to native luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) or LH-RH azo-conjugated to bovine serum albumin, localization is confined mainly to the interior of the large, and to a lesser extent to that of the small, secretion granules of the gonadotrophic cells. Plasma membranes are not demonstrated. Except for weak staining in the granules of corticotrophs, no other pituitary cell is stained. Pretreatment of sections with LH-RH (to dilutions of 4 pg/μl) increases staining intensity in the gonadotrophic granules. Other cells are unaffected. The lesser the gonadotroph staining intensity without pretreatment, the greater the increase (more than 23-fold reactivity). Augmented staining is measurable (P〈0.001) to antiserum dilutions of 1∶240 000. Pretreatment with des-Glu-1-LH-RH, porcine corticotropin or rat prolactin has no effect. LH-RH-Gly-10(desamide) inhibits. Rat glycoprotein hormones enhance staining with anti-azo-conjugated LH-RH. With antinative LH-RH these hormones enhance weak staining, but inhibit strong staining. Thick vibrotome sections of male rat or rabbit pituitaries stained before embedding reveal specific localization on plasma membrane and gonadotrophic secretion granules, provided the sections have been pretreated with LH-RH (250 pg/μl). The data show that LH-RH after reaction with receptor is not sterically hindered from binding specific antibodies. Receptor may be found in secretion granules, both in the free state or combined with LH-RH. Plasma membrane receptor, on the other hand, was free under the conditions of the experiments. Immunization with LH-RH elicits not only heteroimmune antibodies specific for LH-RH, but also a group of still ill defined autoimmune antibodies, some of which may conceivably be reactive with glycoprotein hormone α-chains.

    Notes: Summary Immunocytochemistry of paraffin sections of Bouin-fixed rat pituitaries with antiserum to luteinizinghormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) revealed two types of cells. Type I cells exhibit granular staining throughout their cytoplasm. The immunoreactivity of type II cells is confined to a much smaller area of the cytoplasm. Type I cells are located in the ventral margin of the pars intermedia, the region between the pars intermedia and the pars distalis, and the pars distalis adjacent to this region. Type II cells have a broader distribution in the pars distalis, but tend to concentrate in the region of the pars distalis near the pars intermedia. Type I cells are distinct from gonadotropes. Type II cells appear to comprise a subgroup of gonadotropes. Staining in type I, but not type II, cells in pituitary explants, maintained in serum-free media for seven days, is as intense as that in normal pituitary tissue. The data suggest that the type I cells are producing an intrinsic LHRH-like material and may be responsible, in part, for the regulation of some gonadotropes.

    Notes: Summary Among a total of 135 tissue-reactive monoclonal antibodies previously prepared, 81 were brain-selective and were classified into neuronal and non-neuronal categories. The neuronal antibodies were again subdivided into antineurofibrillar, antiperikaryonal-neurofibrillar, and antisynapse-associated groups. On the basis of morphologic, developmental, biochemical, and pathologic criteria, the antibodies in at least two of these groups were found to detect heterogeneous antigens (called “neurotypes”) rather than different antigenic determinants in single antigens. On examining the distribution in peripheral organs of staining patterns of 11 antineuronal brain-reactive antibodies, we now confirm that these antibodies are, indeed, largely brainspecific. In general, non-neuronal elements in liver, lung, heart, thymus, intestine, adrenal, and spleen remained unstained. However, most of the antibodies stained peripheral neural elements. Occasional antibodies did stain selected, non-neuronal structures. Four out of five antineurofibrillar antibodies stained nerve fibers in adrenal medulla, intestine and thymus. All of three antiperikaryonal-neurofibrillar antibodies also stained nerve fibers in the adrenal medulla, but not in other organs. Two out of three antisynapse-associated antibodies stained what appear to be nerve contacts on adrenal medullary cells, but not on any other peripheral cells examined. The nonneuronal peripheral staining patterns were restricted to selective nuclear staining exhibited by two out of five antineurofibrillar antibodies and the staining of macrophage and selected cardiac muscle nuclei by two of three antisynapse-associated antibodies. However, one antineurofibrillar antibody also stained the cytoplasm of selected liver cells. Among non-neuronally reacting antibodies, two antibodies stained nuclei of all cells except neurons in brain as well as peripheral organs. An antibody staining the ciliary epithelium of choroid plexus also stained basal bodies of ciliated bronchial epithelium. The overall data suggest that the specificity of brain-reactive antibodies is high and that their cross-reactivity with epitopes in non-nervous tissue is rare. In these cases, the antibodies seem to provide specific reagents for these additional structures as well as for their specific brain antigens.
