Journal ArticleDOI
Development and evaluation of a method for the partial purification of immunoglobulins specific for Graves' disease.
TL;DR: A new method for the extensive purification of IgG specific to the serum of patients with Graves' disease is described, using receptor purification as the isolation technique and the TBII assay as an index of activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
In Vitro Responses to Crude and Purified hCG in Human Thyroid Membranes
TL;DR: The interactions of crude and pure hCG with receptors in human thyroid membranes are studied by assessing the ability of these preparations to inhibit the binding of bovine [125I]TSH ([125I]-bTSH and to activate adenylate cyclase activity therein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human chorionic gonadotropin and thyroid function in patients with hydatidiform mole
TL;DR: Analysis revealed no significant relationship between elevations of serum human chorionic gonadotropin concentration and abnormally high values of the free thyroxine index, and it is suggested that a substance or substances are responsible for thyrotoxicosis observed in patients with trophoblastic tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions of bovine thyrotropin and preparations of human chorionic gonadotropin with bovine thyroid membranes.
TL;DR: Both partially and highly purified hCG preparations inhibited the binding of 125I-bTSH to bovine thyroid membranes in a non-competitive manner, as revealed by Lineweaver-Burk analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Binding of Bovine Thyrotropin to Receptors in Rat Testis and Its Interaction with Gonadotropins
TL;DR: It is concluded that bTSH binds reversibly, saturably, and with relatively high affinity to receptors in rat testis that are either the same as receptors for hCG and LH or that interact therewith.
