Glycosylation Patterns of Proteins Studied by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and Bioinformatic Tools [PDF]
Due to their extensive structural heterogeneity, the elucidation of glycosylation patterns in glycoproteins such as the subunits of chorionic gonadotropin (CG), CG-alpha and CG-beta remains one of the most challenging problems in the proteomic analysis ...

A mass-forming cystic appearance of peritoneal recurrence of gastric adenocarcinoma
Metastatic peritoneal tumors of gastric origin usually appear as multiple small nodules on the peritoneal surface or as scirrhous-type infiltrating lesions. A mass-forming cystic appearance is highly unusual and is unique to peritoneal metastasis. Herein,

Organization and sequence of the gene encoding the human acrosin-trypsin inhibitor (HUSI-II) [PDF]
A complete cDNA encoding the acrosin-trypsin inhibitor, HUSI-II, was used as a probe to isolate genomic clones from a human placenta library. Three clones which cover the entire HUSI-II gene were isolated and characterized.

Immunoreactive human chorionic gonadotropin and its free ß-subunit in serum and ascites of patients with malignant tumors [PDF]
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a clinically relevant marker of trophoblastic and nontrophoblastic malignancies. In the present studies, in addition to determining serum hCG, we investigated the presence and properties of hCG immunoreactivity in ...
