Clinical relevance of research on the structure of human chorionic gonadotropin.
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) has been studied extensively over the past 10 years, and some structural correlates of its chemical, biological, and immunologic properties have been defined. A review of these observations and their relevance to clinical applications of methods for detecting hCG is presented.
