Abstract excerpt
We analyzed the nucleotide sequence of the luteinizing hormone beta subunit (LH beta) in a patient with an anomalous LH. This anomalous LH showed abnormal immunogenicity, but normal bioactivity, suggesting that this variance of antigenicity was caused by amino acid substitution(s). In the anomalous LH, two single amino acid substitutions, Trp(TGG) to Arg(CGG) and Ile(ATC) to Thr(ACC), were found at the codon for...
