Designing a new generation of anti-hCG vaccines for cancer therapy
چکیده انگلیسی
The heterodimeric 'pregnancy-specific' hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) has been used as the basis for a contraceptive vaccine. More recently, the observation that hCG, particularly in the form of the β-chain expressed in the absence of α-chain, is aberrantly expressed in a number of different tumors has opened up a second potential application for such vaccines. Drawbacks of the currently available vaccines are that they are either relatively weakly immunogenic or that they induce antibodies that cross-react with human leuteinizing hormone (hLH). We have explored the possibility of creating mutated versions of the hCG β-chain with improved immunologic properties.
