An in vitro bioassay based on suppression of GnRH-stimulated FSH secretion by pituitary cells in culture was used to monitor inhibin activity after dialysis, gel filtration or polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of protein preparations from a variety of gonadal secretions and extracts under native and dissociating conditions. The suggestion that inhibin is a peptide of molecular weight less than 5000 was not confirmed. Although some fractions of low molecular weight suppressed FSH secretion, the amount of activity was low and the dose response curves were not parallel with a standard preparation of inhibin. Under most conditions, inhibin eluted with an apparent molecular weight of about 90 000. However, gel filtration of rete testis fluid protein in 1 M acetic acid resulted in elution of inhibin activity with a lower apparent molecular weight and with polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in 0.1% (w/v) sodium dodecylsulfate, the apparent molecular weight was 30 000. It is concluded that inhibin is a protein which tends to aggregate and coelute with larger molecules.
