In order to investigate the role of autoantibodies in the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid diseases and for clinicoimmunological control of treatment, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the determination of autoantibodies against human thyroid microsomal antigens (TMA) was developed. ELISA was evaluated using sera from 156 patients with different thyroid pathology and diabetes mellitus and from 54 healthy donors. In parallel experiments the same sera were analyzed by an indirect immunofluorescence method for the presence of autoantibodies against TMA. Comparing all these data, both techniques appeared to have the same specificity, however ELISA was more sensitive than the indirect immunofluorescence method. Another advantage of ELISA is a possibility of long-term storage of microplates with immobilized antigen material without loss of antigenic activity. ELISA can be used for the determination of autoantibodies against TMA in human sera as a routine technique in clinical practice and experiments.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008861 Microsomes Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction. (Glick, Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1990; from Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed) Microsome
D002458 Cell Fractionation Techniques to partition various components of the cell into SUBCELLULAR FRACTIONS. Cell Fractionations,Fractionation, Cell,Fractionations, Cell
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.

D006111 Graves Disease A common form of hyperthyroidism with a diffuse hyperplastic GOITER. It is an autoimmune disorder that produces antibodies against the THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR. These autoantibodies activate the TSH receptor, thereby stimulating the THYROID GLAND and hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES. These autoantibodies can also affect the eyes (GRAVES OPHTHALMOPATHY) and the skin (Graves dermopathy).
