Pediatrics, 53:41, 1974. An error was made by the authors under the Materials and Methods section of the above article which appeared in the January issue. The last two sentences should read: To convert to nanograms of LER 907, multiply FSH concentrations by 24 and LH concentrations by 17. For conversion to International Units of commercial HCG, divide LH-HCG concentrations by 0.55.

Stimulating Hormone

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) has an essential role in early pregnancy. It is a member of the glycoprotein hormone family also comprising the pituitary derived follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Each hormone consists of a non-covalently bound α and β subunit. Within a species the α subunit is identical and hormone specificity is determined by the unique β subunit.
