THYROID FUNCTION TESTS Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): The thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) assay measures the concentration of thyroid stimulating hormone in the serum. TSH assays
The thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) assay measures the concentration of thyroid stimulating hormone in the serum. TSH assays have been classified by "generation" based on the functional sensitivity of the assay, i.e., the lowest concentration at which the assay is able to maintain an inter-assay precision, expressed in terms of percent coefficient of variation (%CV), of 20% or less. Virtually...

متن کاملMolecular Cloning (TSH) f3 Subunit of Quail Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) fi subunit cDNA was obtained from Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) by PCR and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The cDNA encodes a putative signal peptide and a mature protein consisting of 20 and 114 amino acids, respectively. The amino acid sequence of quail TSHf subunit shows homologies of 67-69% in mammalian species, 58% in amphibian and 43-49% in t...
متن کاملIdentification of genes in a thyroid cell line regulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
Differential display (DD) PCR (Liang and Pardee, 1992) is a recently described technique to identify genes whose expression has changed during a biological process. We used this method to detect genes thyroid stimulating hormone-dependently regulated in a rat thyroid cell line, because thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is the most important hormone for cell proliferation and differentiation inc...
متن کاملUsing Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Levels in Cord Blood to Assess the Iodine Status of Neonates
Neonatal Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) level in blood is one of the indicators recommended for assessing iodine deficiency control programs in a population. This study evaluates the TSH level in cord blood as a way of assessing the iodine status of neonates in the National Capital District, PNG. Assay of TSH in 150 cord sera was by enzyme immunoassay (EIA 96 Microwell plates) using the sens...
