Abstract
Somatotropes, mammotropes and somatomammotropes of the Korean native goat hypophysis were studied by double immunoelectron microscopy using antisera to growth hormone(GH) and prolactin(PRL), and protein A-gold particles of different sizes. Mammotropes were round or oval in shape, and contained round and electron dense secretory granules. The size of secretory granules was variable from 460nm to 680nm in diameter. Somatotropes were elliptical or triangular in shape and the oval nucei were located eccentrically at the periphery of the cell. Secretory granules of the cell were oval in shape and clearly distinguished from round granules of mammotropes. The size of granules was 320~680nm in diameter, smaller than that of mammotropes. Somatomammotropes contained round or oval secretory granules. The granules had intermediate size between somatotropes and mammotropes. Some of granules contained both GH and PRL, while the others contained only one of them.
