Abstract excerpt
Complete hydatidiform moles, an abnormal pregnancy of androgenetic origin consisting of swollen villi without an embryo, were studied to determine the protein constitution of vesicular fluids in the swollen villi and the ability of the molar tissue to synthesize protein. All 16 serum proteins tested were identified in the molar fluid. A reverse correlation was obtained when the logarithms of the molar fluid...
