In a functional assay, you find that your purified hCG sample has an activity of 20,000 mIU/ml (where mIU is milli international units). You make a standard curve and determine that the concentration of a 100-fold diluted aliquot of your hCG is 0.05 µg/ml. What is the activity in mIU/mg of your purified sample? 4 x 10^5 5 x 10^7 4 x 10^6 4 x 10^7
