Abstract
IMMUNOLOGICAL cross-reaction as determined by radioimmunoassay has been demonstrated between human and simian growth hormones1, and between human and simian chorionic gonadotropin2. By contrast, there was no evidence of such identity between human and simian luteinizing hormones or follicle stimulating hormones3. Corresponding observations on human and simian TSH have not been reported, but we now present evidence for very close and probably identical immunological cross-reaction between human and baboon TSH on the basis of radioimmunoassay.
