Abstract
A new system of serially culturing anterior pituitary gland cells in a new nutrient medium under open aeration to produce large amounts of pituitary hormones. Using the new system of culture and new nutrient media, the pituitary cells can be grown in vitro to produce in approximately three weeks 10 to 12 times the amount of extractable hormone originally present in the original tissue.
