Thyroid-stimulating Antibody Activity
To investigate the distribution of thyroid-stimulating antibody (TSAb) activity between IgG subclasses, sera from 11 patients with Graves disease (including the National Institute of Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) Research Standard, long acting thyroid stimulator-B) were fractionated by chromatography on affinity columns of monoclonal IgG subclass antibodies or protein A to deplete al...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin G subclasses of anti-thyroid peroxidase autoantibodies in human autoimmune thyroid diseases.
A distribution of immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclass of anti-thyroid peroxidase (TPO) autoantibodies was studied to know whether anti-TPO autoantibodies are closely implicated in the pathogenesis of human autoimmune thyroid diseases. As a result of analyzing 14 patients' sera, 7 with Graves' disease and 7 with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, anti-TPO autoantibodies were found to consist of mainly IgG1 su...
متن کاملThe proteolysis of immunoglobulin G with long-acting thyroid-stimulating activity.
1. Proteolysis of immunoglobulin G with long-acting thyroid-stimulating activity with papain and pepsin shortened the duration of thyroid stimulation in mice prepared for the McKenzie (1958) bioassay. The time-course appeared to be related to molecular size. 2. The activity after proteolysis was recovered solely in the electrophoretically slow F(ab)-fragment. 3. There was no immunological cross...
متن کاملPlacental transfer of immunoglobulin G subclasses.
The concentrations in cord blood of total immunoglobulin G (IgG) and the four subclasses of IgG were measured in 34 fetuses at a mean gestational age of 25 weeks (range, 18 to 35 weeks). The blood samples were obtained by percutaneous umbilical blood sampling, and results were compared with the respective IgG subclass concentrations of the mothers. The efficiency of transplacental transfer of t...
متن کاملRelationship between thyroid stimulating hormone and thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin in Graves' hyperthyroidism.
BACKGROUND AND AIM In Graves' hyperthyroidism, suppression of serum TSH after restoration of normal serum T4 and T3 with treatment has been attributed to binding of TSH-receptor antibodies to TSH receptors in the pituitary. Accordingly, the relationship between TSH and serum thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI) was examined during follow-up of patients with Graves' hyperthyroidism. SUBJEC...
