Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and characterization of oviductal glycoprotein-binding protein partner on gametes: epitopic similarity to non-muscle myosin IIA, MYH 9.
TL;DR: The results suggest that OGP binds to both gametes through its interaction with MYH9 through the non-glycosylated N-terminal conserved region of OGP, spanning the residues 11-137.
Journal ArticleDOI
Termination of pregnancy in mice with antiserum to chicken riboflavin-carrier protein.

TL;DR: The erythroid aplasia supports the biochemical evidence that fetal demise is due to preferential riboflavin deficiency of the fetus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and partial characterisation of human riboflavin carrier protein and the estimation of its levels during human pregnancy.
TL;DR: Although the level of the protein in the maternal serum remained low until 4 months, its level in amniotic fluid was elevated 2-3-fold as compared to that in serum, and remained significantly elevated up to 8 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Search for peptide immunogens of the beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) capable of eliciting hormone specific and neutralizing antisera. Identification of an undecapeptide eliciting hCG-specific antisera.
TL;DR: The attempts to identify peptide immunogens of the beta-subunit of the pregnancy-specific placental hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), capable of eliciting hormone specific and neutralizing antisera found that the region 109-119 of hCG-beta is a unique determinant of h CG.
Journal ArticleDOI
Termination of pregnancy in mice following administration of antibodies to the pentadecapeptide 10-24 of chicken riboflavin carrier protein: identification of a bioneutralizing epitope of chicken riboflavin carrier protein.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the amino acid sequence 10-24 of cRCP harbours a bioneutralizing epitope of c RCP.
