We therefore evaluated elastase inhibitory activity in serum in thyroid dysfunctional states by measuring the protease inhibitor alpha 1-antitrypsin (A-1-AT), as well as by directly
The present report identifies an important immunogenic region of the TSH receptor and determinants on the TSH receptor for the two types of autoantibodies seen in hyperthyroid Graves' disease and hypothyroid idiopathic myxedema, TSAbs and TSBAbs, respectively. The immunogenic domain with no
