Abstract
A radioreceptor assay for human growth hormone (hGH) using the 100,000-g pellet of human liver tissue homogenates obtained from a 13-year-oid male donor of a kidney transplantation is described. The dilution curves of the plasma hGH of 6 patients with Laron-type dwarfism (LTD) as well as those of the plasma hGH from I normal child and 2 acromegalic patients were all found to be parallel to the standard curve, suggesting that in the LTD syndrome the circulating hGH is biologically active.
