Abstract

This is a report on the production of heterologous anti-idiotypic antisera against human anti-thyroglobulin antibodies and on the detection of cross-reactivities among human anti-thyroglobulin antibodies by means of anti-idiotypic antisera. The results are evidence of the existence of unique idiotypic determinant on that anti-thyroglobulin antibody used for immunization and similar idiotypic determinants on all anti-thyroglobulin antibodies.
