Luminescent bioassay to measure cAMP following TSHR activation. Indirect assays to determine whether the TSHRv is functional were conducted using OF conditioned medium at various stages of differentiation (cells at D0 = Day 0 in complete medium, CM15 = complete medium for 15 days culture, DM15 = Differentiation medium for 15 days) in the presence of TSH/M22. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM; * p-value < 0.05, ** p-value < 0.01. Horizontal bars represent comparison between non-GO (grey) and GO (striped).
