Abstract

A water-soluble tissue-specific antigen with the electrophoretic mobility of α1-globulin was found in the chicken adenohypophysis. It was shown by the indirect immunofluorescence method that the antigen arises during embryogenesis in the early stages of histotypical differentiation of the adenohypophysis. The first cells with specific fluorescence appear in 6-day embryos simultaneously in the cephalic and caudal lobes of the adenohypophysis. At the 8th–10th day of development bright mosaic fluorescence is observed in all cell bands of the adenohypophysis. The antigen detected can be used as a general marker antigen for differentiation of the chick embryonic adenohypophysis.
