Antibody to the oxyphil cells of the human parathyroid in idiopathic hypoparathyroidism

W J Irvine, Laura Scarth
PMCID: PMC1579075  PMID: 4892044

Abstract

IgG antibody to parathyroid oxyphil cells is described in the serum of one of nine patients with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism. This serum also reacted with the chief cells of the parathyroid. Whether other sera from the patients with hypoparathyroidism contained antibody to chief cells in low titre was uncertain.
