Monoclonal antibodies against human thyroglobulin were produced by the hybridoma technique. Using three non-crossreactive monoclonal antibodies, an IRMA system was developed, with a polyclonal rabbit antibody fixed on microtiter plates as first extracting antibody. The monoclonal antibodies were used as second antibody, while anti-mouse IgG-biotin from goat and [125I]streptavidin served as the indicator system. The source of the monoclonal antibodies was diluted culture medium without purification. Sensitivities of 3-4 micrograms/l were obtained with all 3 monoclonal antibodies; interassay variation was about 5%. This test system will be used for further immunological characterization of circulating thyroglobulin in different thyroid diseases.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.

D001360 Avidin A specific protein in egg albumin that interacts with BIOTIN to render it unavailable to mammals, thereby producing biotin deficiency.
D001710 Biotin A water-soluble, enzyme co-factor present in minute amounts in every living cell. It occurs mainly bound to proteins or polypeptides and is abundant in liver, kidney, pancreas, yeast, and milk.
