pubmed:abstractText
A polyclonal antibody to the rat D2 dopamine (DA) receptor was rapidly and covalently attached to surface-activated polystyrene cultureware (MicroCEL-Lector plates). Addition of a suspension of dispersed rat anterior pituitary cells resulted in the rapid (within 1 h) selection of cells possessing D2 DA receptors (i.e. lactotrophs). Four-fold enrichment (from about 20% in the suspension to about 80%) was routinely obtained, as judged by prolactin (PRL) immunostaining. The enriched cells were virtually free of fibroblasts and were much more homogeneous in appearance than untreated cells after 3 days in culture. Lactotroph-enriched cell cultures displayed similar functional characteristics as untreated cells when assessed by determining dose-response curves for inhibition of PRL secretion by the DA agonist N-propylnorapomorphine. This method may be generally applicable for the selective enrichment and purification of desired cell types from heterogeneous mixtures in tissue dispersions.
