Periovulatory secretion of immunoactive pregnancy-specific beta 1-glycoprotein (SP1) in humans: comparison with "normal" SP1. 1985

N A Bersinger

The pregnancy-specific beta 1-glycoprotein (SP1)-immunoreacting material in serum from two patients around ovulation was compared with serum SP1 activity derived from normal pregnant women. This was done by antibody binding experiments, density gradients and binding to lentil lectin. Periovulatory SP1 behaved similarly to SP1 from pregnant patients. It is therefore suggested that the periovulatory immunoreacting material is true SP1 and that this protein, though rarely, can be synthesized outside the trophoblast in healthy women.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010060	Ovulation	The discharge of an OVUM from a rupturing follicle in the OVARY.	Ovulations
D011247	Pregnancy	The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.	Gestation,Pregnancies
D011257	Pregnancy Proteins	Proteins produced by organs of the mother or the PLACENTA during PREGNANCY. These proteins may be pregnancy-specific (present only during pregnancy) or pregnancy-associated (present during pregnancy or under other conditions such as hormone therapy or certain malignancies.)	Placental Proteins,Proteins, Placental,Proteins, Pregnancy
D011268	Pregnancy-Specific beta 1-Glycoproteins	Glycoproteins with the electrophoretic mobility of BETA-GLOBULINS, secreted by the placental TROPHOBLASTS into the maternal bloodstream during PREGNANCY. They can be detected 18 days after OVULATION and reach 200 mg/ml at the end of pregnancy. They are associated with fetal well-being.
