Neutralization of Human Serum and Pituitary Thyrotropic Fractions with Antisera to Bovine Pituitary Thyrotropin

ANTISERA to pituitary growth hormone have been shown to possess a high degree of species specificity1. This was demonstrated by precipitin and by neutralization experiments, in which the antiserum to human growth hormone was active against human and monkey growth hormone, but not against growth hormone derived from other species.
