Profiling of mRNA expression of thyroid follicular cell-characteristic genes. End-point RTPCR was performed using cDNA from the thyroid gland and the extrathyroidal tissues using specific primers for thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR), thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF1) and paired box gene 8 (Pax8). 'SubG' in the panel stands for the submandibular gland.
