We have established the interval over which urinary chorionic gonadotropin
can be detected by a radioimmunoassay during pregnancy in the golden lion tamarin.
Preliminary findings indicate the potential value of this radioimmunoassay system for (1)
diagnosis of pregnancy at about four weeks after fertilization; (2) estimation of the expected
time of delivery; and (3) identification of individual monkeys having an apparent
high risk of spontaneous abortion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
