Abstract excerpt
Radiolabeled human TSH receptor (hTSHR) cRNA probes encoding nucleotides 37-2298 and 37-209, with unlabeled sense RNA control segments, were used in a liquid hybridization assay and found to be highly specific and sensitive enabling detection of 0.5 fmol of hTSHR mRNA. Using normal human thyroid monolayer cell cultures we calculated that the average number of TSHR mRNA transcripts was 95 +/- 5 per cell under in...
