Abstract

Development of polyclonal antisera is still a choice in some hard-pressed budget laboratories. In the present study, an attempt was made to isolate α- and β-subunits from peak-I hCG, generation of polyclonal antisera and their characterization. The anti-hCG-α antisera showed titres of 18000 and anti-hCG-β antisera 116,000 at 50% binding to radiolabelled hCG in RIA. Studies on specificity using anti hCG-β antiserum demonstrated no cross-reaction with several hormones tested in the present study, except for hCG-β and hCG, thus eliciting a highly specific hCG-β antiserum.
