The Measurement of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin for Pregnancy Testing

, 1982
/Among many measurable hormones, human chorionic gonadotropin (FICG) is commonly used for pregnancy testing because it is very sensitive and relatively specific. Pregnancy can be identified shortly after implantation.

Gynecomastia attributable to human chorionic gonadotropin-secreting giant cell carcinoma of lung

, 2003
To describe a patient with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-secreting giant cell carcinoma of the lung manifesting as painful gynecomastia, which resolved after surgical treatment. We present the clinical, radiologic, and clinical course of our patient,

Translational fusion of two beta-subunits of human chorionic gonadotropin results in production of a novel antagonist of

, 2007
The strategy of translationally fusing the alpha-and beta-subunits of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) into a single-chain molecule has been used to produce novel analogs of hCG.

Epitope analysis and molecular modeling reveal the topography of the C-terminal peptide of the \beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin

, 1999
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) belongs to a family of heterodimeric glycoprotein hormones that share a common \alpha-subunit and a hormone-specific \beta-subunit.

Glycoprotein hormone alpha-subunit in human stomach.

, 1986
To demonstrate the immunoreactive alpha-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) or glycoprotein hormones in non-neoplastic gastric mucosa, and to clarify the nature and significance of alpha-subunit-immunoreactive cells, immunohistochemical ...

The relationship between clinical-anamnestic data and cell-free fetal DNA level assessed by semiconductor sequencing within non-invasive prenatal testing

Акушерство, гинекология и репродукция
Introduction. Currently, non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is widely used to assess a risk of fetal chromosomal anomalies. NIPТ accuracy depends on the cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) percentage relative to total cell-free DNA in the pregnant woman's ...

Human chorionic gonadotropin – a well-known hormone with unknown functions

, 1970
Human chorionic gonadotropin (CG) belongs to the glycoprotein family consisting of LH, FSH and TSH. All of these hormones are composed of two subunits: common to the whole family alpha subunit and hormone-specific beta subunit.

Single chain human chorionic gonadotropin, $hCG\alpha \beta$: Effects of mutations in the \alpha subunit on structure and bioactivity

, 2007
The strategy of translationally fusing the subunits of heterodimeric proteins into single chain molecules is often used to overcome the mutagenesis-induced defects in subunit interactions.

The human chorionic gonadotropin-beta arginine(68) to glutamic acid substitution fixes the conformation of the C-terminal peptide

, 2005
Wild-type human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) has been used as a contraceptive vaccine. However, extensive sequence homology with LH elicits production of cross-reactive antibodies. Substitution of arginine(68) of the beta-subunit (hCG beta) with glutamic

Exploring potential mid-trimester maternal serum biomarkers for fetal congenital heart disease: a retrospective case-control study

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine
Objective To assess potential associations between maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and free human chorionic gonadotropin beta subunit (free β-hCG) levels during the mid-trimester and the occurrence of fetal congenital heart disease (CHD).Methods A
