| Abstract: | ![]()
A radioimmunoassay for pregnancy-specific-β1-glycoprotein (Bohn. 1971) has been established with a limit of detection of 2 μMg/litre in serum. The assay has been used to measure serial levels of pregnancy-specific-β1-glycoprotein (β1SP1) in the serum of patients with choriocarcinoma and teratoma for comparison with measurements of the β-subunit of human chorionic gonadotrophin. The value of the assay for β1SP1, in the management of these patients is discussed. |
