Abstract

Antiserum to human beta-lipotropin has been raised in rabbits and characterized by gel double diffusion, quantitative precipitin, microcomplement fixation and biological neutralization tests. A sensitive radioimmunoassay for human beta-lipotropin has been developed. It was demonstrated that the antiserum shows specificity for this hormone. Human beta-melanotropin and human beta-endorphin showed only a minimal degree of cross-reaction, while ovine beta-lipotropin showed a partial but significant degree of cross-reactivity.
