IgG subclass distribution of antibodies against human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and diphtheria toxoid (DT) was determined in the sera of women recruited into Phase II clinical trials of a beta-hCG based immunocontraceptive vaccine. Serum samples from 30 different individuals were analyzed. Anti-hCG antibody response was predominantly of IgG1 subclass, with a mean titer of 537.94 +/- 560 antibody units (AU). The other 3 subclasses showed considerably lower mean levels (IgG2, 16.46 +/- 8.33; IgG3, 3.22 +/- 8.48; IgG4, 56.65 +/- 82.60 AU). A good correlation was observed between the anti-hCG IgG1 antibody titers (r = 0.57, P < 0.01) and the bioneutralization capacity of sera. However, bioneutralization capacity of the sera from subjects capable of inducing IgG4 response was not significantly different from subjects not showing IgG4 antibodies. Similarly, a dominant IgG1 response was observed against diphtheria toxoid (DT) which has been used as one of the carrier proteins in the vaccine.

D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D004168 Diphtheria Toxoid The formaldehyde-inactivated toxin of Corynebacterium diphtheriae. It is generally used in mixtures with TETANUS TOXOID and PERTUSSIS VACCINE; (DTP); or with tetanus toxoid alone (DT for pediatric use and Td, which contains 5- to 10-fold less diphtheria toxoid, for other use). Diphtheria toxoid is used for the prevention of diphtheria; DIPHTHERIA ANTITOXIN is for treatment. Diphtheria Vaccine,Toxoid, Diphtheria,Vaccine, Diphtheria

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).

D018074 Vaccines, Conjugate Semisynthetic vaccines consisting of polysaccharide antigens from microorganisms attached to protein carrier molecules. The carrier protein is recognized by macrophages and T-cells thus enhancing immunity. Conjugate vaccines induce antibody formation in people not responsive to polysaccharide alone, induce higher levels of antibody, and show a booster response on repeated injection.

D018997 Chorionic Gonadotropin, beta Subunit, Human The beta subunit of human CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN. Its structure is similar to the beta subunit of LUTEINIZING HORMONE, except for the additional 30 amino acids at the carboxy end with the associated carbohydrate residues. HCG-beta is used as a diagnostic marker for early detection of pregnancy, spontaneous abortion (ABORTION, SPONTANEOUS); ECTOPIC PREGNANCY; HYDATIDIFORM MOLE; CHORIOCARCINOMA; or DOWN SYNDROME.
