چکیده
A micro-modification of the agar-plate precipitin test for Hashimoto's thyroiditis is described. The advantages are the increased rapidity in reaction, economy of reagents, and technical simplicity.

Serum precipitin reactions in Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Sera from certain patients with Hashimoto's disease or a related condition contain a non-precipitating antithyroglobulin which produces in double-diffusion tests with thyroglobulin a line of clearing in the agar. Two such sera are described. Other sera from examples of the disease give negative precipitin tests with thyroglobulin but combine with sera containing ;clear line', non-precipitating ...
متن کاملDiagnostic tests for thyroid antibodies: a comparison of the precipitin and latex-fixation (Hyland TAI) tests.
The clinical significance of thyroid antibodies is discussed and it is concluded that, of the antibody tests which have been extensively applied, the precipitin test is the most useful for diagnostic purposes. The recently introduced Hyland TA test is compared with the precipitin test. The TA test gives a rapid result and is slightly more sensitive, but it remains undecided whether a true posit...
متن کاملAssessment of RET/PTC1 and RET/PTC3 rearrangements in fine-needle aspiration biopsy specimens collected from patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis
BACKGROUND RET/PTC rearrangements are the most frequent molecular changes in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). So far, 15 main RET/PTC rearrangements have been described, among which RET/PTC1 and RET/PTC3 are the most common in PTC - especially in radiation-induced tumours. RET/PTC1 and RET/PTC3 are the result of intrachromosomal paracentric inversions in chromosome 10, where RET and the activ...
متن کاملA comparison of tests for thyroglobulin antibody.
A comparison is made of tests for thyroglobulin antibody, using gel diffusion, electroprecipitin, bentonite flocculation, tanned red cell agglutination, and latex slide agglutination techniques on sera from cases of Hashimoto's disease and other thyroid disorders. Any increase in gamma globulin was also noted from the serum electrophoretic pattern. The gel diffusion and electroprecipitin tests ...
متن کاملThyroid Association Ophthalmopathy in Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: a Case Report.
Thyroid associated ophthalmopathy is a constellation of symptoms caused by an autoimmune process involving the orbital tissue. It is common in hyperthyroid patients due to Graves' disease and also reported in euthyroid and hypothyroid Graves' patients with positive thyroid receptor antibodies. But in Hashimoto's thyroiditis, thyroid associated ophthalmopathy is a rarely reported and poorly unde...
