Interaction of testosterone-oestradiol binding globulin (TeBG) and albumin with human prostatic carcinoma in vitro.
During a period of incubation, the accumulation of testosterone-oestradiol binding globulin (TeBG) and albumin were noted in the cells of human prostatic carcinoma in vitro. These accumulations were inhibited by addition of rabbit anti-human TeBG antibody. However, the accumulation of human chorionic gonadotropin was not prominent. These observations suggest that TeBG and albumin are incorporated into the cells of human prostatic carcinoma.
