This study aimed to purify human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) from the urine of pregnant women with high biological activity (10811 IU/mg) and purity (98.2%), by simple capturing of HCG using DEAE Sepharose FF and polishing using Sephacryl S200 HR. The HCG obtained was characterized by SDS-PAGE and dissociated into alpha and beta subunits using the urea treatment method. The βHCG subunits were injected into rabbits for the production of highly specific polyclonal anti-βHCG antisera. The polyclonal anti-βHCG was locally produced in rabbits and assessed for binding titer (1/10000), displacement (84.8%), and specificity (98.8%). Purified HCG along with locally prepared polyclonal anti-βHCG antisera were used as basic components of the in-house Radioimmunoassay system for quantitative estimation of HCG in human serum.
本研究旨在从生物活性高(10811IU/mg)、纯度高(98.2%)的孕妇尿液中提取人绒毛膜促性腺激素(HCG)。使用 DEAE Sepharose FF 简单捕获 HCG,并使用 Sephacryl S200 HR 进行抛光,从而获得 HCG。通过 SDS-PAGE 对获得的 HCG 进行特征分析,并使用脲处理方法将其解离为 α 和 β 亚基。将βHCG 亚基注入兔子体内,产生高度特异性的多克隆抗-βHCG 抗血清。在兔子体内局部产生多克隆抗-βHCG,并评估其结合效价(1/10000)、置换率(84.8%)和特异性(98.8%)。纯化的 HCG 与本地制备的多克隆抗-βHCG 抗血清一起,作为内部放射免疫测定系统的基本成分,用于定量估计人血清中的 HCG。
