Definitions
- hCG Human chorionic gonadotropin purified from urine of pregnant women has been shown to have approximately 30% carbohydrate content, consisting of two Nasparagine linked carbohydrate side chains on each of its and subunits (1) and four O-serine linked side chains attached to the COOH-terminal peptide region of its subunit (2,3).
- Nishimura et al. (4) observed that hCG purified from the urine of a patient with choriocarcinoma had a reduced carbohydrate content and that this difference was due to a low sialic acid content.
- lectins These carbohydrate binding proteins, have proved to be useful reagents for probing structural features of cell surface glycoproteins and for isolating glycoproteins.
- carbohydrate binding properties of two lectins peanut lectin, (Arachis hypogea agglutinin, PNA), and castor bean lectin, (Ricinus communis agglutinin, RCA), to develop highly specific methods for the detection of ashCG in urine.
- PNA and RCA specifically bind the desialylated O-serine (9,10) and N-asparagine (9) linked oligosaccharides of hCG respectively.
- Solid phase lectin is utilized to extract ashCG from urine, and lectin bound ashCG is then measured utilizing a purified and radiolabeled monoclonal antibody or rabbit antiserum.
- the form of desialylated hCG detected is dependent not only on the carbohydrate specificity of the lectin but the peptide specificity of the monoclonal antibody or antiserum employed.
- This unique type of assay has been described as a Lectin-Immunoradiometric Assay (LIRMA) and may be extended to the measurement of a variety of soluble glycoproteins by using combinations of lectins and antibodies with different specifications.
- LIRMA Lectin-Immunoradiometric Assay
- Lectins are proteins or glycoproteins of non-immune origin long known to be useful for agglutinating erythrocytes and other types of cells and useful for studying cell surface properties.
- a lectin to a glycoprotein, particularly a relatively small glycoprotein such as hCG, would prevent subsequent or contemporaneous binding of an antibody directed to an antigenic determinant on the glycoprotein.
- a lectin which selectively binds to a specific sugar moiety and of an antibody provides a highly sensitive and specific method for qualitatively detecting or quantitatively determining a desialylated glycoprotein.
- the method provided permits exploitation of the dual nature of glycoproteins.
- the lectin component binds specifically to the carbohydrate moiety while the antibody component binds specifically to the peptide moiety.
- An example of the importance of the invention is the ability to distinguish desialylated hCG from sialylated hCG and, thereby, diagnose gestational trophoblastic disease.
- a method for determining the presence of a soluble desialylated glycoprotein such as human chorionic gonadotropin in a biological fluid such as urine or blood comprises contacting a sample of the biological fluid with a suitable amount of an appropriate lectin capable of selectively binding to the desialylated glycoprotein to produce a complex.
- an appropriate lectin capable of selectively binding to the desialylated glycoprotein to produce a complex.
- lectins include peanut lectin and castor bean lectin.
- the resulting complex is separately recovered from the biological fluid.
- the recovered complex is contacted under appropriate conditions with at least one detectable antibody such as radiolabeled or fluorescently labeled monoclonal antibody directed to an antigenic determinant on the desialylated glycoprotein and capable of selectively binding to glycoprotein present in the complex.
- the presence of antibody so bound is detected and, thereby, the presence of desialylated glycoprotein in the biological fluid determined.
- a method for quantitatively determining a soluble desialylated glycoprotein in a biological fluid comprises contacting a sample of the biological fluid with a suitable amount of an appropriate lectin capable of selectively binding to the desialylated glycoprotein to produce a complex.
- the resulting complex is separately recovered from the biological fluid.

- R141 RIA antiserum
- LIRMA Lectin-immunoradiometric assays
- the conditions for the LIRMA's were optimized as follows: The amounts of PNA-Agarose and RCA-Agarose and time of incubation at room temperature required to give maximum adsorption of ashCG from buffer A were determined. The amount of iodinated antibody added to the assay was chosen by determining the amount of tracer which gave the highest ratio of specific counts bound over non-specific binding (NSB: binding of tracer in absence of ashCG). Time studies of radiolabeled antibody binding indicated that equilibrium was not attained until 96 hours of incubation at 4°C However, since an incubation period of 48 to 72 hours was sufficient to obtain high assay sensitivity, it was the chosen time of incubation.
- urine samples Prior to assay, urine samples were adjusted to pH 7.4 with NaOH and centrifuged at 3,000 xg for 15 min. Duplicate or triplicate 4 ml aliquots of urine (standards containing appropriate concentration of ashCG in buffer A or buffer A alone for determination of NSB) were pipetted into 12 x 75mm polystyrene tubes. Two-hundred microliters of 10% suspension of PNAAgarose or RCA-Agarose in buffer A were pipetted into each tube. The tubes were capped, placed horizontally on a Labquake Shaker and incubated for 2 hours at room temperature in order to extract ashCG from the samples.

- Fi g shows that shows that for ashCG in urine compared to 1 .051 and 0.122 pmoles/ml for ashCG in buffer A in PNA- 125 l-R525 system .
- the PNA 125 I-R525 system can detect ashCG, ashCG ⁇ and free as3CTP
- the PNA- 125 I-B105 system can only detect ashCG and ashCG ⁇
- the PNA- 125 I-B107 system detects only dimeric ashCG .
- RCA does not recognize asi alo O-serine linked carbohydrate side chains in the ⁇ -CTP region
- RCA- 125 I-R525 system detects only ashCG and ⁇ ashCG .
- the cross-reactivi ties of hCG, hCG and hLH were low in all the assay systems . Intra- and inter assay variance for these LIRMA' s have been established util izing normal male urine containing the dosages of ashCG coinciding approximately wi th ED 50 . These are also shown in Table 1 .
- the gel f iltration profiles of the concentrated urine from a choriocarcinoma patient and a normal pregnant woman are shown in Fi g. 3.
- the el ution prof ile of the choriocarcinoma urine concentrate had a maj or peak of hCG immunoreactivi ty as determined by an RIA using an antiserum to ⁇ -CTP (R529) which coincided with the elution vol ume (Ve) of 125 I-hCG.
- a peak of ashCG whi ch eluted under the peak of hCG was detected using the R141 RIA and the PNA- 125 I-R525 and RCA- 125 I-R525 LIRMA' s .
- the proportion of ashCG to toal hCG in this fi rst peak was 17% using PNA- 125 I-R525 , 16% using RCA 125 I-R525 and 16% using the R141 RIA.
- the PNA- 125 I-R525 LIRMA, RCA- 125 I-R525 LIRMA and R141 RIA wi th an extraction step were util ized to measure ashCG in urine specimens from patients with gestational trophoblastic tumors and women during normal pregnancy. The total concentrations of hCG in these specimens were determined util izing the B101-R525 IRMA (20) .
- the means of the percentages of asi alo hCG concentrations over toal hCG concentrations obtained using the three different methods are shown in Table 2.
- the Newman-Keuls Mul tiple Range Test ( 21) was used to determine if the mean values for the three groups of subjects were signifi cantly different from each other .
- the mean percentages of asialo hCG over total hCG concentration for specimens from choriocarcinoma patients obtained using all three assays were signifi cantly different from those for hydatidiform n
- the extreme selectivity of the LIRMA for asialo forms of hCG can be attributed to the carbohydrate specificity at the lectins employed.
- Peanut lectin, (PNA) has high specificity for the terminal carbohydrate structure Gal ⁇ l ⁇ 3GalNAc (9,10); and castor bean lectin (RCA), is highly specific for the terminal structure of Gal ⁇ l ⁇ 4GlcNAc (9).
- PNA Peanut lectin
- RCA castor bean lectin
- sialic acid When sialic acid is removed from hCG, its unique ⁇ -CTP region has four structures of O-serine linked Gal ⁇ l ⁇ 3GalNAc (2), and each of its and subunits has two structures of Nasparagine linked Gal ⁇ l ⁇ 4GlcNAc (1).
- PNA and RCA recognize asialo O-serine and N-asparagine linked carbohydrate side chains, respectively.
- the LIRMAs have the abili ty to distinguish between various forms of asialo hCG based on the specificities of the lectins and antibodies employed.
- the PNA- 125 l-R525 system detects ashCG, ashCG ⁇ and f ree as ⁇ CTP, indicating simul taneous binding of the lectin and antibody to the ⁇ CTP region. This finding was unexpected considering the potential for steric hindrance of binding two large molecules to this relatively small peptide.
- the PNA- 125 I-B105 system which uses a monoclonal antibody to hCG ⁇ , detects ashCG and ashCG ⁇ . Since B107 recognizes only dimeric hCG , PNA- 1 25 I-B107 detects only ashCG .
- PNA recognizes asialo O-serine l inked carbohydrate moieties which are local ized in ⁇ -CTP region (2 ,10) and RCA recognizes N-asparagine linked carbohydrate moieties which are in ⁇ and ⁇ subuni ts (1) . This difference in demonstrated by the inabili ty of the RCA- 125 I-R525 LIRMA to detect f ree as ⁇ -CTP. It should be possible to construct similar LIRMA systems to measure a variety of soluble glycoproteins by employing lectins and antibodies with different carbohydrate and peptide binding specificiti es.
- the PNA-R525 and RCA-R525 LIRMA' s and the R141 RIA with an extraction step have been util ized in conjunction with an IRMA for hCG to determine the concentrations of asialo forms of hCG relative to those of total hCG in three different subject groups (Table 2) .
- the mean percentages of asialo hCG over hCG obtained using all three assays were significantly higher for urines from choriocarcinoma patients than those hydatidiform mole patients and normal pregnant women. Although the mean val ues for hydatidiform mole patients were also higher than those for normal pregnant women, the differences were not statistically significant. This appears to be due to the high variance wi thin subject groups. Future studies with serially collected specimens from individuals within each subject group will be conducted in order to obtain a better understanding of the utili ty of asialo hCG measurements in discriminating between gestational trophoblasti c disease and normal pregnancy.
