Biological Properties of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin
The present study is designed to elucidate certain biological characteristics of urinary chorionic gonadotropin and to see what differences could be demonstrated between HCG in normal pregnancy and in the trophoblastic diseases. We have attempted the biological characterization of HCG using crude HCG and the purified HCG (12, 000 I.U./mg) by zone ...

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.

Adverse Effects of Trichothiodystrophy DNA Repair and Transcription Gene Abnormalities on Human Fetal Development [PDF]
The effects of DNA repair and transcription genes in human prenatal life have never been studied. Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) is a rare (affected frequency of 10^-6^) recessive disorder caused by mutations in genes involved in the nucleotide excision ...

Interaction of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) and Asialo-hCG with Recombinant Human Thyrotropin Receptor. [PDF]
hCG is a putative thyroid stimulator. The present studies were undertaken to examine its interaction and that of its desialylated variant asialo-hCG with recombinant human TSH (hTSH) receptor (hTSHr). To this end, we transfected a human thyroid carcinoma

Adhesive and degradative properties of human placental cytotrophoblast cells in vitro. [PDF]
Human fetal development depends on the embryo rapidly gaining access to the maternal circulation. The trophoblast cells that form the fetal portion of the human placenta have solved this problem by transiently exhibiting certain tumor-like properties ...

Management of Nonpregnant Women with Elevated Human Chorionic Gonadotropin
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is useful in evaluating and monitoring early pregnancy as well as trophoblastic disease. Here we describe the management of women with elevated serum human chorionic gonadotropin in a case of a 51-year-old female who ...
