[Attempt to demonstrate beta-HCG in germinal testicular tumors of the adult by an indirect immunoperoxidase method].

Abstract

In 25 cases of germinal testicular tumours of the adult, a technique of indirect immunoperoxydase was applied to histological sections with the aim of demonstrating a substance reacting with an anti-beta HCG antibody (sub-unit of chorionic gonadotrophin hormone). If the experimental conditions were appropriate, the substance should actually be beta HCG.
