Plasma membranes isolated from bovine corpora lutea showed specific binding with 1251-human chorionic gonadotropin and 1251-human luteinizing hormone; unlabeled hormones competitively inhibited the binding. The binding of the 1251-human chorionic gonadotropin to the receptor was a saturable phenomenon and the half-saturation was attained at a concentration of 4 X lo-r0 M. Maximum hormone recept...

IN 1906 Clevasseau classified tumours of the testis as teratomata, seminomata, interstitial cell tumours and adenomata. He noted the similarity between the seminoma and the epithelium of the seminal tubules, and considered that this type of tumour had its origin in the seminal epithelium. Nicholson (1907), Dew (1925), and Bell (1926) were in agreement with this theory. Since then numerous publi...

a highly sensitive electrochemicalimmunosensor was developed to detect hcg based on immobilization ofhcg-antibody (anti-hcg) onto robust nanocomposite containing gr, chit,1-methyl-3-octyl imidazolium tetra fluoro borate ionic liquid (il)(gr-il-chit). aunps were used to immobilize hcg antibody on the modifiedelectrode. the amine groups of the antibody are covalently attached toaunps/gr-il-chit n...

background and aims: some nanoparticles can be used in immunoassays to increase sensitivity. this study aimed to evaluate a novel nano-immunoassay based on bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (bsa nps). materials and methods: at first, the nanostructure was synthesized, and then applied as a tag in the nano-immunoassay. then the concentration of β-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (βhcg) i...

We report the case of a 22-year-old male who had a history of metastatic right testicular tumor successfully treated with chemotherapy and surgery. Twenty-one months after the initial treatment, the serum human chorionic gonadotropin started to increase gradually, but whole body imaging including the left testis revealed no abnormal finding except testicular microlithiasis. A biopsy of the left...

A young woman with an occult bronchogenic carcinoma presented with secondary amenorrhea and an elevated beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin that was mistakenly attributed to pregnancy. Physicians should be aware that this carcinoma may present solely with an elevated beta human chorionic gonadotropin value, and the potential exists for confusion with a pregnancy state in women of child...

context maternal serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) and alpha fetal protein (afp) were originally introduced to detect trisomy 21 and neural tube defects. however, in the absence of aneuploidy or neural tube defects, mid-trimester maternal serum hcg and/or maternal serum afp associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. pregnancies with unexplained mid-trimester elevation in maternal serum ...
