The use of monoclonal antibodies specific for rat relaxin to study the physiological roles of relaxin in pregnant rats
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe purpose of the present research was to determine the physiological roles of endogenous relaxin in pregnant rats by passive immunization with a monoclonal antibody specific for rat relaxin (MCA1). Recently, Lao Guico-Lamm and Sherwood demonstrated that rats treated with MCA1 throughout the second half of pregnancy exhibited prolonged delivery and reduced pup survival at birth compared to controls.
