Sera from 4 women immunized with the vaccine Pr-.beta.-hCG-TT . Resolution of Scatchard plots showed the presence of more than 1 population of antibodies in these sera. In each case the Ka of a population of antibodies for binding with hCG were distinctly higher than those for LH. Results indicate the likely presence in .beta.-hCG of determinants and/or conformations immunologically unique to hCG besides common regions. This immunological method represents a development for fertility control by an anti-hCG approach.
