Abstract:
A primary monolayer culture system from cockerel hepatocytes was established. The cultures synthesize and secrete proteins that comigrate with authentic serum proteins on polyacrylamide gels and are found in the same relative abundance. Addition of estradiol increased the synthesis of apoprotein B, found in very low density lipoprotein, under all culture conditions. Vitellogenin synthesis could not be induced directly by estradiol. However, when serum was obtained from cockerels injected with estradiol 4 days before blood collection and included in the culture medium, the cultures secreted a protein identified immunologically as vitellogenin by affinity chromatography. Furthermore, addition of growth hormone or prolactin to cultured cockerel hepatocyte monolayers resulted in the synthesis and secretion of a polypeptide that comigrates with authentic vitellogenin on polyacrylamide gels.
