Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAndrogen Receptor in Macrophages of Male Rat is Greater Than in FemaleKazem Ahmadi, Alan B. McCrudenThe presence and possible sex differences of androgen receptor in peritoneal macrophages was investigated using immunomagnetic beads. Macrophages were incubated with different concentrations of [3H]-5αDHT in the presence or absence of a 100 fold excess of unlabelled 5α-DHT. Labelled cells were separated from unbound steroid by immunomagnetic beads coated with anti-rat macrophage antibody. The binding identified in the rat macrophages … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,830 accessesView PDFCite
