| Abstract: | Summary 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 an early luteal phase. |
