a Representative images of OMP immunofluorescence labeling in normal human pituitary sections. OMP expression and all five cell types in the anterior pituitary were detected by antibodies against PRL, GH, ACTH, TSH, and FSH. OMP colocalized with PRL in lactotrophs, but not in other cell types. Images were obtained with a laser scanning microscope at 200× and 800× magnification. b Representative images of OMP and PRL immunofluorescence labeling in rat pituitary sections. c OMP expression in rat PRL-secreting cell lines. OMP protein levels in GH3 and GH4 cells, kidney (negative control), and olfactory bulb (positive control) was determined by western blotting. Blots are representative of three experiments
