In order to examine whether cytologic examination of pituitary adenoma might enable evaluation of hormonal function of tumor cells, an attempt was made to clarify how hormone-secreting cells and non-granulated cells of the pituitary react to the various dyes in the Papanicolaou stain such as hematoxylin, orange. G, eosin Y, light green and Bismarck brown. Each cells was comparatively identified by immunocytochemistry using antisera to GH (growth hormone), ACTH (adrenocorticotrophic hormone), TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), LH (luteiniging hormone), PRL (prolactin) and S-100 protein.<BR>GH cells appeared to contain dense compound granules of orange G and eosin Y. ACTH cells showed dense dark brown granules in the cytoplasm. TSH and LH cells disclosed light green cytoplasm with scattered, hematoxylinstained granules. S-100 proteinpositive cells (non-granulated cells) tended to stain with light green, but faintly. PRL cells were devided into three types?(1) only light green stained cells, (2) light green cytoplasm with scattered compound granules of eosin Y and orange G, and (3) cells with dense compound granules of eosin Y and orange G.<BR>Judging from these stain characteristics, the hypothesis of evaluation of the hormone-secreting function of tumor cells seemed possible to some extent by routine cytologic examination of pituitary adenoma.
