Isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gel followed by staining with Coomassie brilliant blue was used for the densitometric estimation of ovine prolactin standard and canine pituitary prolactin. The results were compared with those obtained by conventional polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic procedures and isoelectric focusing was found to be a valid technique for the estimation of prolactin and to offer greater technical convenience.
The mobility of ovine and canine prolactin was similar in isoelectric focusing and gel electrophoresis. The isoelectric point of ovine and canine prolactin was found to be 6·17 and 6·61 respectively.
Constant levels of prolactin were found in the pituitaries of bitches at oestrus.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
