The β-core fragment of human chorionic gonadotrophin inhibits growth of Kaposiʼs sarcoma-derived cells and a new immortalized Kaposiʼs sarcoma cell line

1 May 1997

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), a condition often associated with HIV infection, is more common in men than in women; pregnancy and sex hormones could be involved. Urinary human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) has been reported to inhibit the growth of KS cell lines, with great variability among preparations. Urinary hCG often contains free forms of the hCG subunits and a fragment of the free beta-subunit, the...
