ABSTRACT
A comparison of methods for the quantification of circulating pregnancy specific beta 1 glycoprotein in late pregnancy was performed to assess the influence of the presence of a high molecular weight glycoprotein with alpha 2 electrophoretic mobility (SP1 alpha) which is immunochemically identifiable with pregnancy-specific PBETA 1 glycoprotein (SP1 beta). Serum samples from 47 volunteers in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy were subjected to measurements of pregnancy specific beta 1 glycoprotein in rocket immunoelectrophoresis, quantitative crossed-immunoelectrophoresis and radioimmunoassay. Rocket immunoelectrophoresis gives a result which reflects the total SP1 content, i.e. SP1 alpha and SP1 beta while quantitative crossed-immunoelectrophoresis permits differentiation between the two molecules. Radioimmunoassay predominantly measures authenic SP1, i.e. SP1 beta in the presence of physiological amounts of SP1 alpha.
