Designing a new generation of anti-hCG vaccines for cancer therapy.

Molecular and cellular endocrinology - 2 Jan 2007

Delves P J, Iles R K, Roitt I M, Lund T

Abstract excerpt

The heterodimeric 'pregnancy-specific' hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) has been used as the basis for a contraceptive vaccine. More recently, the observation that hCG, particularly in the form of the beta-chain expressed in the absence of alpha-chain, is aberrantly expressed in a numbe...
