Application of a Bioassay with CHO Cells for the Routine Detection of Stimulating and Blocking Autoantibodies to the TSH-Receptor
1 Mar 1998
Abstract excerpt
The importance of bioassays measuring stimulating and blocking autoantibodies to the TSH-receptor (TSH-R) by their effect on cAMP production in CHO cells transfected with the recombinant TSH-R is increasingly recognized. The standard technique for this bioassay is cumbersome, as it involves purification of serum IgG with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and resuspension in hypotonic buffer. We have therefore established...
