Abstract excerpt
We have established EBV-transformed human B cell clones producing monoclonal anti-TSH receptor antibodies from two patients with Graves' disease. We then isolated and characterized immunoglobulin VH genes of 5 B cell clones with the TBII activity and 4 B cell clones with the TSAb activity. We fou...
