Abstract excerpt
Balb/c mice were immunized with a synthetic peptide (P354-14) corresponding to "the immunogenic peptide" of human thyrotropin receptor (hTSH-R). Through screening for binding to the peptide, we obtained several monoclonal antibodies with various biological activities: thyroid stimulation (SAb), inhibition of TSH stimulation (BAb) and no significant effect on cAMP production. One of the stimulatory clones was...
