Evaluation of Human Serological Response to Recombinant TB10.4 Antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Introduction: Development of effective immunodiagnostic methods for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is crucial. Serodiagnostic methods, based on antibody response to specific antigens could provide promising approaches for rapid, economical and easy to perform diagnostic tests which are crucial for tuberculosis (TB) control. In this study, the level of IgG antibody responses...
متن کاملEarly stimulated thyroglobulin for response prediction after recombinant human thyrotropin-aided radioiodine therapy
OBJECTIVE Measurement of recombinant human thyrotropin (rhTSH)-stimulated thyroglobulin (Tg) is generally recommended 72 h after the second rhTSH injection. However, due to the acute effect of I-131 on thyrocytes, Tg measured after radioiodine therapy (RIT) would not accurately reflect the thyroid tissue burden. We aimed to determine predictive values of serum Tg level measured just before rhTS...
متن کاملAnalysis of carbohydrate residues on recombinant human thyrotropin receptor.
An investigation of the sugar groups on recombinant human TSH receptors (TSHR) expressed in CHO-K1 cells and solubilized with detergents is described. Western blotting studies with TSHR monoclonal antibodies showed that the receptor was present principally as two bands with approximate molecular masses of 120 and 100 kDa. Further blotting studies using lectins and/or involving treatment with di...
متن کاملNormal reference interval for thyrotropin response to thyroliberin: dependence on age, sex, free thyroxin index, and basal concentrations of thyrotropin.
We measured the thyrotropin response (delta TSH) to 200 micrograms of thyroliberin in 131 subjects without thyroid dysfunction or other disease and with basal values for thyroid function that were within the normal reference intervals for our laboratory. By univariate and multivariate statistical methods we found delta TSH to be significantly influenced by the basal concentration of thyrotropin...
متن کاملInteraction of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and asialo-hCG with recombinant human thyrotropin receptor.
hCG is a putative thyroid stimulator. The present studies were undertaken to examine its interaction and that of its desialylated variant asialo-hCG with recombinant human TSH (hTSH) receptor (hTSHr). To this end, we transfected a human thyroid carcinoma cell line (HTC) lacking endogenous TSHr with the full-length cDNA of the hTSHr. Unlike the wild type, the transfected cells, termed HTC-TSHr c...
