Abstract excerpt
Binding of a new thyroid-stimulating human monoclonal autoantibody (MAb) K1-18 to the TSH receptor (TSHR) leucine-rich domain (LRD) was predicted using charge-charge interaction mapping based on unique complementarities between the TSHR in interactions with the thyroid-stimulating human MAb M22 or the thyroid-blocking human MAb K1-70. The interactions of K1-18 with the TSHR LRD were compared with the interactions...
