Localization of relaxin in human gestational corpus luteum
Cell and Tissue Research
|January 1, 1981
Abstract:
Corpora lutea from 12 pregnant women were prepared for immunohistochemical localization of relaxin using a highly specific antiserum. A positive response is given by luteal cells that are diffusely distributed throughout the corpus luteum. These cells do not form a distinctive group in any particular area. A negative response is seen in the adjacent ovarian tissue, and also in nongestational corpora lutea in early luteal phase.
