N2  - A heterologous double-antibody radioimmunoassay has been validated for prolactin in plasma and pituitary preparations of T. vulpecula. Serial dilutions of crude pituitary homogenates and plasmas from several marsupials and purified prolactin from the tammar, Macropus eugenii, showed parallel dose response curves. In both male and female possums plasma prolactin concentrations increased in response to a single intravenous injection of thyrotrophin releasing hormone.
