Usefulness of thyroglobulin antibody detected by ultrasensitive enzyme immunoassay: a good parameter for immune surveillance in healthy subjects and for prediction of post‐partum thyroid dysfunction

Abstract

The ultrasensitive TgAb EIA was useful for detecting the physiological changes in autoantibody formation in healthy subjects and the TgAb value was useful for predicting post-partum thyroid dysfunction in autoimmune thyroid diseases. This EIA is useful for the evaluation of the immune surveillance in patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases as well as in healthy subjects.
