[The clinical importance of the complex determination of placental proteins in gestosis].

Parallel studies of a complex of placental proteins (placental lactogen, trophoblastic beta-globulin, etc.) will help more precisely detect placental dysfunction at early stages of gestosis, assess fetal status, and timely start correcting therapy. Solcoseryl therapy of placental dysfunction in gestosis is justified in complex with routine therapeutic methods and advisable in slight and medium-severity gestoses.

[Comparative immunochemical and physicochemical characteristics of human placental chorionic alphal- and alpha2-microglobulins].

Immunochemical analysis showed chorionic alpha1-microglobulin to be immunologically different from chorionic alpha2-microglobulin. Some physico-chemical properties of these proteins were studied, and they were found to differ from one another by a number of parameters.

[Immunochemical identification of human placental organ specific alpha2-globulin and its concentration in amniotic fluid].

An organospecific alpha2-globulin of human placenta was identified with the aid of immunochemical analysis. This antigen differed immunologically from the alpha2- and beta1-globulins of pregnancy, alpha-fetoprotein, placental lactogen, and chorionic gonadotropin. High level of the antigen revealed was found in the placental tissue and the amniotic fluid at the early terms of pregnancy, but its concentration sharply decreased by the time of labour.
