A bacterial enzyme, carboxypeptidase G2 (CPG2) was conjugated with F(ab')2 fragment of a monoclonal antibody directed at beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta-hCG) and injected into nude mice bearing hCG producing CC3 xenografts of human choriocarcinoma. This evidence concerns the gene SYNE1 and choriocarcinoma.
