The binding of 125I-labeled prolactin (PRL) to membranes from the bursa of Fabricius of male and female chicks of different ages (15-30-45 and 60 days) was studied. In male chicks the binding was very low in 15 day-old animals and slightly increased in more aged animals. In female chicks the binding was more evident in young animals and decreased in 60 day-old animals. The binding showed a hormonal specificity and Scatchard analysis of the binding revealed the presence of binding sites with low capacity and high affinity. The presence of PRL receptors in the bursa of the chick, a structure that confers immunological competence to birds, gives further support to the involvement of the hormone in the immune processes.
