Abstract
ADRENOCORTICOTROPHIC hormone (ACTH) is a polypeptide of particular interest as its structure is known, it has been synthesized, and the molecule has both biological and antigenic activities. In earlier publications1,2 it was shown that antibodies to highly purified pig ACTH induced in the guinea-pig form a soluble complex with ACTH labelled with iodine-131, and that this binding is reversible.
