Abstract
THE production of an antiserum to a preparation of human pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone (HP-FSH) which had been fractionated by electrophoresis on starch gel (SG4) has been described previously1,2. Immunoelectrophoresis of various HP-FSH preparations with this antiserum showed the presence of two precipitin lines. These two lines obtained with antigens of 1 mg/ml. solutions (w/v) were now investigated by comparing three HP-FSH preparations of different purity, CM 1 (ref. 3), CP 1 (ref. 3) and SG 4 (Fig. 1, A, B, C), and by absorbing the antiserum with various proteins.
