Aschheim-Zondek Test (1928)

The basis of the original historic Aschheim-Zondek[1] test developed in 1928 was to identify the changes in immature female mouse genital system by female human urine injected subcutaneously into these immature mice.

  • If the woman was pregnant - the presence of hormones (hCG) induced changes in the mouse genital tract physiologically similar to those produced by sex hormones.
    • follicle maturation, corpora heamorrhagicum and corpora lutea formation.
  • If the woman was not pregnant - there were no changes induced.

This early mouse test was later replaced with a similar, but simpler, urine test using the Xenopus frog.
