Antigenic structure of human chorionic somatomammotropin: four epitopes revealed by monoclonal antibodies. 1984

M Mariani, and M Cianfriglia, and P Neri, and M Lafata, and G Antoni

The characterization of epitope specificity of a panel of 15 monoclonal antibodies against human chorionic somatomammotropin (hCS), previously prepared in our laboratory, allowed us to distinguish 4 antigenic determinants on the hCS molecule. Experiments were carried out with competition and sandwich assays. The results allowed us to divide our MAbs into 4 groups, recognizing 4 different epitopes, and to select 4 MAbs each distinguishing a different epitope in order to pursue further studies on the antigenic structure of hCS.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007118 Immunoassay A technique using antibodies for identifying or quantifying a substance. Usually the substance being studied serves as antigen both in antibody production and in measurement of antibody by the test substance. Immunochromatographic Assay,Assay, Immunochromatographic,Assays, Immunochromatographic,Immunoassays,Immunochromatographic Assays
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D010928 Placental Lactogen A polypeptide hormone of approximately 25 kDa that is produced by the SYNCYTIOTROPHOBLASTS of the PLACENTA, also known as chorionic somatomammotropin. It has both GROWTH HORMONE and PROLACTIN activities on growth, lactation, and luteal steroid production. In women, placental lactogen secretion begins soon after implantation and increases to 1 g or more a day in late pregnancy. Placental lactogen is also an insulin antagonist.
