The results showed that, the properties and merits of the antibodies elicited by both kinds of hCG-β were similar. The antisera had high affinity for binding with hCG (Kαγβ≈5.86×108/mol/L, Kαβ≈8.18×108/mol/L), and were found to be effective in inhibiting the binding of 125I-hCG to receptors in rat testes. Results also indicated that, similar to the antisera induced by natural hCG-β, the recombinant hCG-β induced antisera had capacity of neutralizing the biological activities of hCG. Recombinant hCG-β could be used as an immunogen for contraceptive vaccine.展开更多

It was found that α HCG can be detected in PET buy not in normal islet cells. α HCG immunoreactivity was expressed by 5 of 28 (18%) in benign PET and 14 of 24 (58.3%) in malignant PET. Using in situ hybridization of α HCGmRNA, a strong signal in PET was obtained. The clinico pathological significance of α HCG in PET was discussed.展开更多
