title: [Immunological assay of chorionic gonadotropin during pregnancy. Multicenter study of 5 reagents].
abstract: Five commercial kits for the quantitative determination of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) used for detection and monitoring of pregnancy were evaluated. Five kits used two-sites "sandwich" enzymoimmunoassay and monoclonal antibodies. Precision, standardization and sensitivity were tested and practicability was assessed. Good results are obtained for four kits (Beckman had poor results), sensitivity and specificity are good. Practicability of five kits was evaluated but choose was in relation to configuration of laboratory.
