A Cell Culture Assay for Follicle-stimulating
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cultured rat ovarian granulosa cells respond to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) by synthesizing and secreting plasminogen activator. The specificity of the response for FSH prompted us to explore the use of this system as an in vitro bioassay for FSH. The release of FSH by pituitary cell cultures has been examined by this method, as have been preparations of FSH of known biological activity. The results indicate that the granulosa cell system allows accurate, rapid, and convenient determinations of FSH activity. Furthermore, the method obviates metabolic clearance problems associated with whole animal assays and it is extremely sensitive: as little as lo-l5 mol (-100 pIU) of FSH can be detected.

The complex process of spermatogenesis is regulated by various factors. Studies on spermatogonial stem cells (SCCs) have provided very important tool to improve herd genetic and different field. 0.2 to 0.3 percent of total cells of seminiferous tubules is consist of spermatogonial stem cells. To investigate and biomanipulation of these cells, proliferation and viability rate of cells should be ...
