Abstract

A procedure was developed to purify ovine placental lactogen (oPL) from fetal cotyledonary tissue of late gestation. A prolactin radioreceptor assay using mammary tissue membranes from the late pregnant rabbit was established and used to monitor lactogenic activity throughout the purification.
