A simple and sensitive radioimmunoassay for pregnancy-specific beta1-glycoprotein. 1977

C M Towler, and C H Horne, and V Jandial, and J M Chesworth

A simple, sensitive and relatively rapid radioimmunoassay for pregnancy-specific beta1-glycoprotein (PSbetaG) is described. The concentrations of PSbetaG in plasma from cord blood and in amniotic fluid were approximately 0-1% and 1-0% respectively of the maternal plasma levels. The amniotic fluid PSbetaG levels in pregnancies associated with an anencephalic fetus were not significantly different from normal levels.

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
D011258 Pregnancy Tests Tests to determine whether or not an individual is pregnant. Pregnancy Test,Test, Pregnancy,Tests, Pregnancy
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
D005260 Female Females
D005312 Fetal Blood Blood of the fetus. Exchange of nutrients and waste between the fetal and maternal blood occurs via the PLACENTA. The cord blood is blood contained in the umbilical vessels (UMBILICAL CORD) at the time of delivery.

D000653 Amniotic Fluid A clear, yellowish liquid that envelopes the FETUS inside the sac of AMNION. In the first trimester, it is likely a transudate of maternal or fetal plasma. In the second trimester, amniotic fluid derives primarily from fetal lung and kidney. Cells or substances in this fluid can be removed for prenatal diagnostic tests (AMNIOCENTESIS).
