Abstract
Normal and genetic variant strains of nonrnalignant human fibroblasts produce in vitro a substance indistinguishable from the recently described "pregnancy-specific" beta-1 gtycoprotein (PSβG, PAPP-C, SP1). Demonstration of this presumed placenta-specific meterial in a nonplacental site raises questions about its :normal physiologic role and use as a cancer marker.
