Figure 1
Representative gel filtration profiles of immunoreactive PRL in sera from hyperprolactinemic patients on a Sephacryl HR 200 column ( cm). Samples (1 mL) were applied on the column, and the fractions of 900 μL were collected. (a) Exclusive or predominant pattern of monomeric PRL (little PRL); (b) exclusive or predominant pattern of macroprolactinemia (big big PRL); ((c) and (d)) variable patterns.
