Abstract

A monoclonal antibody has been used to assess the intracellular localization of the glucocorticoid receptor in rodent L-929 fibroblasts and GH3 pituitary tumor cells. Whole cells from both cell lines showed immunoreactivity in the cytoplasm and nucleus. However, when cytoplasts and nucleoplasts of these cells were examined, only L-cells showed strong antibody binding in both fractions; in contrast, GH3 cells exhibited nuclear staining and slight cytoplasmic staining. These results are discussed in terms of the current findings regarding the intracellular location of steroid hormone receptors.
