A comparative study between radioreceptor assay and radioimmunoassay for hCG in patients with trophoblastic disease. 1978

O A Kletzky, and J Z Scott, and C P Morrow, and D R Mishell

The results of a urinary quantitative radioreceptor assay (RRA) were compared with those obtained with an established specific radioimmunoassay (RIA) for hCG in a group of patients with trophoblastic disease. A good correlation (r = 0.95) was found between the two methods for values greater than 10 mIU/ml of hCG. A specific RIA for hCG should be used when the hCG levels fall below 10 mIU/ml. With the use of this urinary RRA, the clinician can follow patients with hydatidiform more for up to 10 weeks after evacuation and have the hCG titer available on the same day the specimen is obtained.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D011869 Radioligand Assay Quantitative determination of receptor (binding) proteins in body fluids or tissue using radioactively labeled binding reagents (e.g., antibodies, intracellular receptors, plasma binders).

D006063 Chorionic Gonadotropin A gonadotropic glycoprotein hormone produced primarily by the PLACENTA. Similar to the pituitary LUTEINIZING HORMONE in structure and function, chorionic gonadotropin is involved in maintaining the CORPUS LUTEUM during pregnancy. CG consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is virtually identical to the alpha subunits of the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, BETA SUBUNIT, HUMAN).
