Antibodies generated against partially purified prolactin receptors from rabbit mammary gland membranes were tested for their effects on prolactin binding to receptors and for their in vivo biological potencies. These antibodies are able to inhibit prolactin binding to crude rabbit mammary gland membranes. When administered intravenously or intramuscularly to pseudopregnant rabbits, they induce respectively an accumulation of beta-casein or an enhancement of beta-casein synthesis and mRNA concentration in the mammary gland. Moreover the stimulatory effect of these anti-prolactin receptor antibodies on casein synthesis is totally abolished by a simultaneous treatment with progesterone, which is a potent in vivo inhibitor of prolactin action. These results better establish the prolactin-like activities of these antibodies previously observed in vitro and give strong support to the hypothesis that prolactin molecule is not required beyond the initial binding to its receptor to induce hormonal effects.
