The basis of the original historic Aschheim-Zondek 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. Animation based upon original line drawings.
