摘要: An ovarian thecal/interstitial cell preparation was obtained by enzymatic digestion of immature rat ovaries depleted granulosa cells. A component in cell-conditioned medium inhibited specific binding [125I]iodo-epidermal growth factor ([125I]EGF) to its surface receptor, as determined with an EGF radioreceptor assay. Thecal/interstitial secreted proteins also stimulated EGF-dependent line. Granulosa cells isolated from the same did not produce detectable levels EGF-like substance, both RRA and Fractionation size exclusion HPLC resulted a 35K being detected substance when were fractionated reverse phase HPLC. Several biochemical properties examined different those authentic mouse EGF. However, biological activities similar their ability promote In addition production produced inhibitory activity.
