Further evidence of the presence of progesterone-binding proteins in female rat hypothalamus.

Utilizing techniques of Sephadex G-200 column chromatography, sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation and dextran-coated charcoal adsorption, the characterization of progesterone-binding proteins was attempted in cytosols obtained from the medial basal hypothalamus including the median eminence, the remaining hypothalamus and the cerebral cortex of ovariectomized estrogen-primed rats. Ater incubation of the medial basal hypothalamic cytosol with 3H-progesterone in the absence or in the presence of various unlabeled steroids, a specific progesterone-binding protein was found in the 7 S region with its binding capacity of approximately 2 X 10(14) moles per mg protein and dissociation constant of approximately 6 X 10(-9) M. No specific binding was, however, found in the remaining hypothalamus and the cerebral cortex.

Immunological function of human tonsil. Surface topology of human tonsil lymphocytes using the scanning electron microscope (SEM).

The surface topology of the lymphocytes in human tonsils was performed by means of the scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was revealed that human tonsils consist of both 40.7% villous and 26.6% smooth surface lymphocytes. In general, the percentage results agree with those of E and EAC binding lymphocytes of human tonsils, as previously reported. Our serial experiments using immunological techniques proved the existence of two lymphocytes (T and B cell) having immunological roles.
