Evaluation of TSHR antibodies in GO mouse model. Total TSHR antibodies and stimulating activity of antibodies was measured in sera of individual male or female mice immunized either with ß-Gal (males n = 8, females n = 16) or hTSHR A-subunit plasmid (males n = 14; females n = 14). (A) Total TSHR antibodies (TRAbs) were measured by TSH binding inhibitory immunoglobulin activity to the human TSHR given as % inhibition of TSH. (B) Stimulating activity of antibodies (TSAbs) was evaluated by bioassay using CHO cells stably expressing the mouse TSHR. Stimulating activity is given in cAMP (pmol/ml). Statistical significance is indicated ****p ≤ 0.0001, ***p ≤ 0.001, **p ≤ 0.01, ns not significant.
