Cultured human fibroblasts and amniotic fluid cells (AF cells) were examined for the presence of steroid hormone receptors. In both cell types, the androgen (DHT) or glucocorticoid (dexamethasone) receptor was detected, but not the estrogen receptor. Binding parameters in fibroblasts were: for andro
