title: A procedure for testing potential inhibitors of human chorionic gonadotrophin activity in vivo.
abstract: A procedure is described for testing potential inhibitors of hCG activity in vivo, based on a hormone-responsive alkaline phosphatase in the ovaries of young mice. Standard injections of an antiserum inhibited the response to a subsequent injection of 2 i.u. hCG after an interval of up to 24 h.
