[Human thyroglobulin radioimmunoassay--Preliminary results in serum and thyroid tissue (author's transl)]. 1979

M Schlumberger, and P Fragu, and A Vignal, and M Tubiana

A specific double antibody radioimmunoassay for the measurement of Thyroglobulin (HTg) in human serum was developed according to the method of Van Herle. The sensitivity of the assay is 2.5 ng/ml. The mean concentration of HTg in 47 normal subjects was 15,1 ng/ml. Elevated HTg levels were found in patients with Graves' disease (12 cases) and in patients with metastases of differentiated thyroid carcinomas (14 cases). In patients with metastases of differentiated thyroid carcinoma the Tg level increases under stimulation by endogenous TSH. Sera obtained after total thyroid ablation for thyroid carcinoma did not contain demonstrable amounts of HTg. This technique was also applied to the assay of HTg in thyroid tissue.

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.

D005260 Female Females
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).
