Experientia. 1984 Jun 15;40(6):575-6. doi: 10.1007/BF01982338.

Abstract

Amniotic fluid was obtained from 19-day-old rat fetuses by aspiration. Pooled samples measured at 4 different dilutions demonstrated parallelism with standard rat TSH. It is concluded that rat amniotic fluid has TSH immunoactivity.
