Monoclonal Antibodies to the Thyrotropin Receptor
The thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) is a seven transmembrane G-protein linked glycoprotein expressed on the thyroid cell surface and which, under the regulation of TSH, controls the production and secretion of thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland. This membrane protein is also a major target antigen in the autoimmune thyroid diseases. In Graves' disease, autoantibodies to the TSHR (TSHR-Abs) stim...
متن کاملNegative correlation between the conversion of thyrotropin receptor-bound blocking type thyrotropin receptor antibody to the stimulating type by anti-human IgG antibodies and the biological activity of blocking type thyrotropin receptor antibody.
It has been reported that receptor-bound blocking type TSH receptor antibody (TRAb) can be converted to the stimulating type by anti-human IgG antibodies. To evaluate the relationship between the conversion of receptor-bound blocking type TRAb to the stimulating type and the biological activity of blocking type TRAb, we compared converting activities of blocking type TRAb from 10 patients with ...
متن کاملThe measurement technologies of thyrotropin receptor antibodies from the past to the present
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Receptor (TSH-R) autoantibodies are the main cause of Graveschr('39') disease and its external thyroid manifestations such as ophtalmopathy and dermatopathy. These antibodies are functionally different and are commonly called TSH receptor antibodies (TRAbs). In fact, TRAbs are a set of autoantibodies including TSHR-stimulating antibodies (TSAbs), TSHR- blocking antib...
متن کاملPrevalence and functional significance of thyrotropin receptor blocking antibodies in children and adolescents with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis.
CONTEXT TSH receptor (TSHR) blocking antibodies (Abs) inhibit TSH-induced thyroid growth and function in some adults with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (CLT), but their role in the pediatric age range is unknown. OBJECTIVES Our objectives were: 1) to determine the prevalence of TSHR blocking Abs in children and adolescents with CLT and 2) assess their functional significance both in vivo an...
متن کاملIncidence of transient congenital hypothyroidism due to maternal thyrotropin receptor-blocking antibodies in over one million babies.
To determine the incidence of transient congenital hypothyroidism due to TSH receptor-blocking antibodies, we screened dried blood specimens obtained from 788 neonates identified as having possible congenital hypothyroidism (from a total population of 1,614,166 babies) and 121 controls. A RRA was used. The potency of blood spot TSH binding inhibitory activity was compared with the severity of c...
