It should be possible to construct similar LIRMA systems to measure a variety of soluble glycoproteins by employing lectins and antibodies with different carbohydrate and peptide binding specificiti es.
  • the PNA-R525 and RCA-R525 LIRMA' s and the R141 RIA with an extraction step have been util ized in conjunction with an IRMA for hCG to determine the concentrations of asialo forms of hCG relative to those of total hCG in three different subject groups (Table 2) .
  • the mean percentages of asialo hCG over hCG obtained using all three assays were significantly higher for urines from choriocarcinoma patients than those hydatidiform mole patients and normal pregnant women. Although the mean val ues for hydatidiform mole patients were also higher than those for normal pregnant women, the differences were not statistically significant. This appears to be due to the high variance wi thin subject groups. Future studies with serially collected specimens from individuals within each subject group will be conducted in order to obtain a better understanding of the utili ty of asialo hCG measurements in discriminating between gestational trophoblasti c disease and normal pregnancy.

Abstract

Procédé permettant de déterminer la présence de glycoprotéines solubles désialylées dans des fluides biologiques. Le procédé consiste à mettre un échantillon de fluide biologique en contact avec une quantité suffisante d'une lectine appropriée pouvant se fixer de manière sélective sur la glycoprotéine désialylée pour produire un complexe. Le complexe résultant est extrait séparément du fluide biologique. Le complexe extrait est mis en contact, dans des conditions appropriées, avec au moins un anticorps détectable d'un déterminant antigénique sur la glycoprotéine désialylée et pouvant se fixer de manière sélective sur la glycoprotéine présente dans le complexe. La présence d'anticorps ainsi liés est détectée, ce qui permet de déterminer la présence de glycoprotéines désialylées dans le fluide biologique.
