4 FOREWORD This volume is devoted to the chemistry, immunology, molecular biology, and physiology of the human chorionic gonadotropin, heg. For this glycoprotein molecule the course from discovery to chemical deciphering covered about fifty years. It was in 1928 that Ascheim and Zondek reported that urine from pregnant women contains something that stimulates the ovaries of mice or rats. This provided the basis for the famous A-Z test for pregnancy and for the "rabbit test" modification introduced by Friedman. As researchers sought to find more sensitive responses to heg, they used a wide variety of species including the South African aquatic toad, Xenopus Zaevis, the terrestrial toad of South America, Bufo arinarus, and the African weaver finch, EupZeetes afra. The weaver finch feather reaction was particularly noteworthy, for it disclosed a non-gonadal response to heg/lh. In retrospect, this may have been an important evolutionary clue to the realization that the designation of the hormone as a "gonadotropin" may have been only partially descriptive of the molecule's physiological function--a concept that is gaining attention, as the papers in this 1980 volume divulge. With crude extracts to work with and only bioassays to measure actjvity, the early workers sought to understand the physiology and chemistry of the placental gonadotropin. Within the first ten years it was established that the human placental gonadotropin appears early in pregnancy, reaches its peak during the second month, and falls off rapidly thereafter. With the development of each more sensitive bioassay the date of hormone appearance in the urine moved closer and closer to the day of the first missed period. A similar hormone in the rhesus monkey was found only between the 18th and 25th day. In the blood of the pregnant mare a gonadotropic hormone was identified which also has a stimulating effect on the ovaries of test animals. Since this material was not found in the urine in significant amounts, it was concluded that it must be different chemically from the human hormone with similar action. By analyzing the difference in animal responses, researchers concluded that there must be dissimilarities between the gonadotropic hormone produced by the pituitary and the one produced by the placenta. Just 14 years after the Ascheim-Zondek discovery, the distinguished anatomist, George W. v
5 FOREWORD Corner, could write a summary of the biology of hcg not very different from what can be said today. He also wrote, "The ovaries of the rat and the rabbit can distinguish [gonadotropins] better than the chemist. For the present we must content ourselves with being grateful for the pregnancy test and await the day when these troublesome substances yield themselves to chemical isolation." As revealed by the papers in this volume, that day has now come. Modern chemistry has made it possible not only to isolate the hormone, but to describe fully the chemical structure of its molecule. Nevertheless, many questions about hcg remain as troublesome today as they were then. We can confirm that the human pituitary and placental gonadotropins are chemically different; and different still is the one produced by the pregnant mare. As yet, we cannot define the structural basis for similarities or differences in action. We can quantify with precision the time course of hcg production during pregnancy. By using highly sensitive radioligand assays the day of onset of production has been moved across the day-of-expected-menses milestone, delimited by the sensitivity of previous bioassays, to a point in the luteal phase of the fertile cycle when the hcg can rescue the failing corpus luteum. But, as in the past, the role played by the hormone later in pregnancy remains completely unsolved. What was not evident before the emergence of the highly sensitive tests based on the antigenicity of hcg, is the surprising omnipresence of substances immunologically similar to hcg. In blood and urine samples of non-pregnant women, extracts of presumably normal tissue samples, or a number of non-trophoblastic tumors, scientists have found such substances. These observations, taken together with work establishing that some bacteria also can produce a factor with antigenic and biological properties similar to heg, open a new phase in the course of hcg research. The scope of interest is now broadened beyond the endocrinology of pregnancy to include immunology, infectious disease, and oncology. The rapid pace of these developments prompted the preparation of this comprehensive volume, the published proceedings of a conference held at the Rockefeller Foundation's Conference and Study Center, Bellagio, Italy, November 14-16, Many of the advances reported here depended for their achievement upon methodological improvements in the fields of protein chemistry, immunology, and radiochemistry. They would not, however, have been possible without the substantial knowledge base provided by those pioneering scientists who (using mice, rabbits, frogs, toads, and birds) learned so much about hcg.
