Thyroid Peroxidase and Thyroglobulin Antibodies and Ophthalmopathy in Patients with Graves’ Disease, Hashimoto Thyroiditis and Transient
Background Inflammation of the orbital connective tissue, extraocular muscles and upper eyelids occurs in about 40% of patients with Graves hyperthyroidism [Graves Ophthalmopathy (GO)] while mild eye signs including upper eyelid retraction are found in as many as 25% of patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis and, occasionally, transient thyroiditis. Some workers have proposed a relationship betwee...
متن کامل[Anti-thyroglobulin and anti-thyroid microsomal antibodies in thyroid disorders].
Serum anti-thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) and anti-thyroid microsomal antibody (McAb) in 213 cases of thyroid disorders and 32 cases of non-thyroid disorders were studied. The antibodies were checked by commercial tanned red cell hemagglutination kits (Thymune-T and Thymune-M) purchased from Wellcome Reagents, Limited, England. The positive rates of TgAb and McAb in patients with untreated toxic...
متن کاملThyroglobulin antibodies in serum of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer: relationship between epitope specificities and thyroglobulin recovery.
BACKGROUND Serum antibodies against thyroglobulin (TgAbs) are common in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and can interfere in thyroglobulin (Tg) assays. We identified the epitopes on Tg recognized by TgAb-positive sera from patients with DTC and examined the association between epitope specificity patterns and Tg recovery. METHODS We tested 50 DTC sera for Tg epitope specific...
متن کاملProduction of anti-human thyroglobulin and anti-thyroid hormone antibodies in rabbits immunized with human thyroglobulin.
Two rabbits (TG-1, TG-2) were immunized with human thyroglobulin (HTg) and bled serially. Antisera were obtained at different times after the first immunization and kept separately and studied. In both rabbits production of anti-HTg, and anti-thyroid hormone antibodies such as anti-thyroxine (T4) and anti-triiodothyronine (T3) antibodies was observed. Binding parameters of anti-HTg antibodies w...
متن کاملImportance of measurement of thyroglobulin and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies in differentiated thyroid cancer.
Differentiated thyroid cancers include papillary and follicular carcinomas, both originating from follicular epithelium. Treatment of choice is usually total or near total thyroidectomy, followed by ablative radioiodine 131I treatment, and by the long-term administration of thyroid hormone. Despite its excellent prognosis, recurrent disease does occur in approximately 20-40% of patients. Guidel...
