We investigated the effect of administration of somatotropin (ST) and/or eCG on insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP) in serum and follicular fluid (FFL) of cattle actively immunized against growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF). Cyclic beef cattle, previously immunized against GRF-(1-29)-Gly-Gly-Cys-NH2 conjugated to human serum albumin (synthesized and provided by Hoffmann-LaRoche, Inc., Nutley, NJ; GRFi, n = 31) or to human serum albumin alone (HSAi, n = 26), received (i.m.): 1) 25 mg recombinantly derived methionyl somatotropin (rbST, n = 14; sometribove provided by Monsanto Co., St. Louis, MO); 2) 1100 IU eCG (n = 10); 3) rbST and eCG (rbST-eCG, n = 15); or 4) vehicle (VEH, n = 17) at 0 and 24 h after receiving prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha). Serum samples were collected at 0 and 40 h after PGF2 alpha, and the ovary bearing the largest follicle (DOM) was removed 44.0 +/- 0.5 h after PGF2 alpha; FFL was harvested from DOM and the subordinate follicle (SUB). Before treatment (0 h), GRFi cows had lower serum ST (0.6 +/- 0.2 vs. 2.2 +/- 0.2 ng/ml; p < 0.01) and IGF-I (26 +/- 4 vs. 72 +/- 4 ng/ml; p < 0.01), but greater IGFBP-2 (594 +/- 48 vs. 384 +/- 52 ng/ml; p < 0.01) than HSAi cows. Serum and FFL concentrations of IGF-I or IGFBP-2 were not different between rbST- and rbST-eCG-treated cows or between VEH- and eCG-treated cows at Hour 40 after the initial treatment injection; therefore, data were combined and designated as rbST and VEH, respectively. Serum IGF-I was increased to a greater extent (percentage increase above 0 h) by rbST treatment in GRFi (362 +/- 24) than in HSAi (176 +/- 16) cows (immunization by treatment, p < 0.01). Across GRFi and HSAi, rbST lowered serum IGFBP-2 (342 +/- 31 vs. 541 +/- 27 ng/ml, rbST vs. VEH; p < 0.01). Diameters of DOM or SUB were not affected by immunization or treatment. Concentrations of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 (determined by ligand blot analysis) in FFL from both DOM and SUB were lower (p < 0.05) in GRFi than in HSAi cows. In contrast, IGFBP-2 in FFL was elevated in SUB, but not DOM, in GRFi compared to HSAi cows.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D007334 Insulin-Like Growth Factor I A well-characterized basic peptide believed to be secreted by the liver and to circulate in the blood. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like, and mitogenic activities. This growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on GROWTH HORMONE. It is believed to be mainly active in adults in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR II, which is a major fetal growth factor.

D006064 Gonadotropins, Equine Gonadotropins secreted by the pituitary or the placenta in horses. This term generally refers to the gonadotropins found in the pregnant mare serum, a rich source of equine CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN; LUTEINIZING HORMONE; and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. Unlike that in humans, the equine LUTEINIZING HORMONE, BETA SUBUNIT is identical to the equine choronic gonadotropin, beta.
