Choriocarcinoma-like human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) and HCG bioactivity during the first trimester of pregnancy.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the distribution of choriocarcinoma-like human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) isoforms during first trimester pregnancy and their relationship with in-vitro HCG bioactivity. This was done by means of a retrospective analysis of patients' sera with first trimester normal intrauterine and abnormal (ectopic) pregnancies. Serum samples were obtained from 3...
متن کاملExpression of luteinizing hormone/human chorionic gonadotrophin (LH/HCG) receptor mRNA in the human ovary.
The gonadotrophins follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are key hormones in the regulation of ovarian function. In the present study, the expression of LH/human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) receptor mRNAs in the human ovary was examined. Northern blot analysis was used to measure relative amounts of LH/HCG receptor mRNA, and in-situ hybridization was used to localize...
متن کاملThe expression of Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (β-HCG) in human urothelial carcinoma
INTRODUCTION Studies regarding the immuno-histological expression and relevance of Beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (=-HCG) in urothelial carcinoma are few. There is also no clear cut way of predicting exactly which superficial urothelial carcinomas would subsequently recur or progress and which muscle-invasive urothelial tumours would progress. The objective of the study was to study the imm...
متن کاملMeasurement of Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG) in the management of Trophoblastic disease
Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG) is mainly a product of the syncytiotropoblastic cells of the placenta although it is also secreted, in lesser quantities, by cytotrophoblastic cells and several nonplacental tissues. It is produced in gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTN) and maybe seen in nontrophoblastic neoplasms (Stenman, 2006). hCG is essential in pregnancy as it promotes transformat...
متن کاملAn Immunochemical Test for Chorionic Gonadotrophin.
An immunochemical procedure for routine laboratory diagnosis of pregnancy utilizing adsorption of human chorionic gonadotrophin onto kaolin and the Ortho pregnancy test reagents is described. The method is suitable for quantitative assay of urinary human chorionic gonadotrophin and can be adapted for use with serum. It was found to compare favourably with the reliability of Galli-Mainini toad t...
