Abstract
A tissue-specific water-soluble antigen was discovered in the chick adenohypophysis by methods of immunochemical analysis. The content of this antigen was found to be highest in the caudal lobe of the adenohypophysis. During embryonic development the antigen was detected by immunoelectrophoresis and immunofluorescence after the 13th day. Two forms of the antigen were found in chick adenohypophysis — one with high and one with low electrophoretic mobility. It is concluded that cells of the adenohypophysis differ in their level of differentiation.
