背景情况:
- 甲状腺刺激激素受体抗体 (TRAbs) 是自身免疫甲状腺疾病 (AITD) 的关键标志物.
- 缺乏一种简单的方法来区分TRAbs与不同的抗原表位.
- 准确诊断特定的AITD亚型,如Graves'病 (GD),Graves'轨道病 (GO),GD与第三级囊[GD(3) ],以及带有阳性TRAb的甲状腺功能低下[HT(TRAb+) ],至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定不同AITD亚型的分子诊断目标.
- 为了研究特异性抗原表位的TRAbs诱导的差异性基因表达.
- 探索不同TRAb表位体对甲状腺细胞增殖的影响.
主要方法:

Hybridoma Technology
14.4K
Hybridoma technology is used for the large-scale production of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies bind to only a single antigenic determinant or epitope. Such antibodies are used in research, diagnostics, and disease therapy. The hybridoma technology established in 1975 by Georges Köhler and Cesar Milstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1984 for revolutionizing research and therapy.

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
4.4K
Low blood levels of the thyroid hormones — triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) — signal the hypothalamus to release the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then reaches the pituitary gland and stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) into the bloodstream.
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...
