Boar rete testis fluid was tested for its capacity to induce Müllerian regression in 14.5-day-old rat Müllerian ducts. Weak activity was present in crude RTF, but after gel filtration 5-fold concentration, greater activity was detected in 1 our of 7 pools of the eluted fractions. The biologically active fraction (mol. wt 160 000-310 000) coincided with the elution of authentic labelled anti-Müllerian hormone, obtained from bovine fetal testes. These results indicate that a small amount of anti-Müllerian hormone is still synthesized in post-natal life.
