Abstract
Materials immunologically related to luteinising hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and the gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) were localised in cerebral tissue of Locusta migratoria and Sarcophaga bullata by means of the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method. Several polyclonal and a monoclonal antisera were used. From the third larval instar a positive reaction was observed in cells located in several parts of the brain. Each antiserum reacted with a constant number of well defined cells and nerve fibers. No differences between sexes were observed.Keywords
