Concentration-dependent regulation of thyrotropin receptor function by thyroid-stimulating antibody.
Thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) Ab's of the stimulating variety are the cause of hyperthyroid Graves disease. MS-1 is a hamster mAb with TSHR-stimulating activity. To examine the in vivo biological activity of MS-1, mice were treated with purified MS-1 intraperitoneally and the thyroid response evaluated. MS-1 induced a dose-dependent increase in serum thyroxine (T4), with a maximum effect after 10...
متن کاملDefining thyrotropin-dependent and -independent steps of thyroid hormone synthesis by using thyrotropin receptor-null mice.
The thyrotropin (TSH) receptor (TSHR) is a member of the heterotrimeric G protein-coupled family of receptors whose main function is to regulate thyroid cell proliferation as well as thyroid hormone synthesis and release. In this study, we generated a TSHR knockout (TSHR-KO) mouse by homologous recombination for use as a model to study TSHR function. TSHR-KO mice presented with developmental an...
متن کاملThyroid-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 کاملRelationship between Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody and Thyroid Function Test
Background: Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (anti-TPO antibody) is a member of thyroid autoantibodies which are important in inducing and also diagnosing autoimmune thyroid diseases. Thyroid autoimmunity can cause several forms of thyroiditis and abnormal thyroid functions, ranging from hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between serum levels of anti-TPO ...
متن کاملThyrotropin receptor-adenylate cyclase function in human thyroid neoplasms.
The action of thyrotropin (TSH) on plasma membranes was studied to elucidate the mechanism of hormonal regulation of malignant versus normal human thyroid tissue. Thyroid plasma membranes of six specimens of papillary or follicular carcinoma and six of adenoma, as well as adjacent normal tissue obtained from these patients, were evaluated with respect to binding of 125I-labeled TSH and stimulat...
