Abstract

TSH receptor (R) binding and cAMP production by bovine (b) TSH-bound to a monoclonal antibody (MoAb) or polyclonal antibody (Ab) to bTSH were examined, using TSH receptor (R) coating tube and porcine thyroid cells. (125) I-bTSH bound-to MoAbs to bTSH(alpha) or discontinuous type MoAb showed TSHR binding (10%) similar to intact (125) I-bTSH. TSHR binding was completely decreased (<2%) when (125) I-bTSH was bound by polyclonal Abs to bTSH(alpha) in Graves' patient or rabbit polyclonal Abs to bTSH. When either of the two MoAb (No. 1 and 2) to bTSH(beta) was bound to (125) I-bTSH, TSHR binding was 4 times higher (40%) compared to intact (125) I-bTSH. Binding of another MoAb (No. 3) caused no increased binding. TSHR binding of intact (125) I-bTSH was decreased from 10% to 2% by excess amounts of bTSH. Binding of (125) I-bTSH bound to MoAb to bTSH(beta) (No. 1 and 2) decreased from 40% to 30% by excess amounts of bTSH. When (125) I-bTSH bound-Fab of MoAb was used, the binding was reduced from 30 to 10% (No. 1) and from 25 to 6% (No. 2), respectively. In contrast, cAMP production by bTSH was decreased by pre-binding of all MoAbs and polyclonal Abs. Binding of (125) I-MoAb to bTSH (beta) to a synthetic peptide array of bTSH (beta) sequ...Continue Reading
