Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides compositions and methods for detecting thyroid hormone blocking immunoglobulin (TBI). The invention's methods are sensitive and specific for TBI, and may be used for the dual detection of both TBI and TSI. The invention's compositions and methods are useful for the diagnosis of diseases that are associated with the presence of TBI and/or TSI, for monitoring the progress of disease and/or treatment regimens, therapeutics, vaccines, etc., and for assisting clinicians in making treatment decisions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for detecting thyroid hormone blocking immunoglobulin (TBI) in a sample, comprising a) combining i) transgenic cells stably transfected with one or more expression vector comprising a 1) a first nucleic acid sequence that encodes a reporter, wherein said first nucleotide sequence is operably linked to a cAMP-inducible promoter, and 2) the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 that encodes a chimeric TSH receptor (TSHR), wherein said SEQ ID NO: 2 is operably…
