The β-core fragment of human chorionic gonadotrophin inhibits growth of Kaposiʼs sarcoma-derived cells and a new immortalized Kaposiʼs sarcoma cell line

Abstract

The beta-core fragment of hCG proved to be the most effective part of the hCG molecule, inducing growth inhibition and apoptosis of KS cells. Thus, the beta-core could be the most appropriate hCG derivative for the therapy of KS.
