Figure 4. MB49 cells lack LHCGR, the functional receptor for hCG, but are stimulated in vitro by dihydrotestosterone.

Figure 4

A. Mouse testes lysate was used as a positive control for LHCGR expression, showing mature high molecular weight bands for the protein while MB49 cells lack these bands but express a single truncated short form at approximately 65 kD. B. MB49 cells were grown with increasing doses of dihydrotestosterone (0−10 μM), with a dose-dependent curve in growth, indicating cellular machinery responsive to this hormone. ***P < 0.0001
