Macroprolactinemia: Diagnostic, Clinical, and Pathogenic Significance by Akira Shimatsu, Naoki Hattori

“…There is no gender difference and a long-term followup demonstrates that macroprolactinemia develops before middle age and is likely a chronic condition. Polyethylene-glycol- (PEG-) precipitation method is widely used for screening macroprolactinemia, and gel filtration chromatography, protein A/G column, and I125-PRL binding studies are performed to confirm and clarify its nature. …”
