Anti-TSH receptor antibodies in clinical practice

Abstract:
Anti-thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies are pathophysiologic and clinical indicators in autoimmune thyroid diseases, not only in Graves' disease. The detection of these antibodies is useful for diagnostic and management purposes. The presence and titers of anti-TSH receptor antibodies, however, have to be interpreted in light of the clinical and other biological characteristics of each patient. Newer, more sensitive assays of anti-TSH receptor antibodies may increase their significance in the diagnosis and management of autoimmune thyroid diseases and Graves' disease.

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.

Characteristics of Practical Op Amps
The ratio of differential gain to the common-mode gain is defined as the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This ratio quantifies the ability of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to reject common-mode...

Enzyme-linked Receptors
Neurotrophin (NT) receptors are a family of RTKs, including trkA, trkB, and trkC (tropomyosin-related kinase) receptors. TrkA is specific for nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-6, and neurotrophin-7. TrkB binds...
