ABSTRACT Diethylstilboestrol administered in lower doses than necessary to induce full vaginal cornification in spayed mice, resulted in vaginal mucification. The thickness of the layer of mucous cells was found to be dose dependent; it was low in the controls, reached a maximum at a dose of 0.02 μg, but full cornification and absence of mucification was present at 0.05 μg. Sialic acid was present in the mucoproteins, and determination of the total amount of sialic acid per vagina showed a close relationship to the histologically evaluated degree of mucification. The ratio between total sialic acid per vagina and vaginal weight (»sialic acid concentration«) gave a dose response curve with a λ value of −0.061. The possibility of using this parameter for oestrogen assay is discussed.

ABSTRACT Oestrogens administered in lower doses than necessary to induce full cornification of the mouse vagina induce mucification. It was shown previously that the degree of mucification could be estimated by quantitative determination of sialic acids. A suitable parameter for oestrogen assay was the measurement of vaginal sialic acid concentration which exhibited a clear cut dose response curve. Eleven assays of various oestrogens were performed with this method. Their estimated relative potencies were in good agreement with other routine oestrogen assays. A statistically sufficient degree of precision was found. The sensitivity was of the same order, or slightly higher, than the Allen-Doisy test.

SummaryWhen crude к-casein was precipitated at pH 3 in the presence of 0·4m-NaCl the supernatant contained up to 80% of the total sialic acid but no detectable cystine or cysteine. Two fractions were obtained from this supernatant by chromatography on DEAE cellulose; one containing 4–6% sialic acid and the other only onetenth of this amount.Most of the sialic acid of the sialic acid-rich fraction was soluble in 12% trichloracetic acid following treatment with rennin. It is suggested that the glycopeptide released by the action of the enzyme on casein originates from this fraction.
