Human chorionic gonadotropin is a glycoprotein hormone that, like LH, stimulates steroidogenesis in gonadal cells. Using a desialylation process, 95 per cent of the sialic acid residues from an intact standard hCG molecule were eliminated and then the electrophoretic properties and the bioactivity o
## BACKGROUND. Previous studies in which monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) were used against different epitopes of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) demonstrated the presence of membrane-associated hCG and its subunits by cancer cells of different types and origins and by human embryonic and fetal ce
Gonadotropins have been suggested to play a role in the development or progression of ovarian cancer, and we have previously reported the expression of luteinizing hormone/ human chorionic gonadotropin (LH/hCG) receptor in 40% of epithelial ovarian carcinomas. To examine the biological effect of LH/
