Bioassays using animal models were essential tools in the discovery of thyrotropin and in enhancing our understanding of the physiology of the pituitary-thyroid axis. These same bioassays were also instrumental in the discovery of autoantibodies to the thyrotropin receptor (TSH-R-Ab) and in identifying their role in the pathophysiology of Graves’ disease. The development of cell-based bioassays led to further advances in our knowledge of the functional activity of TSH-R-Ab and to the discovery that TSH-R-Ab can be either thyroid-stimulating or thyroid blocking, and that they occur in other types of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) besides Graves’ disease. More recently, TSH-R-Ab bioassays have been advanced from research tools to clinical laboratory tests. Whereas TSH-R-Ab can be measured with competitive-binding immunoassays, these assays do not provide information on the functional activity of TSH-R-Ab. Bioassays, in contrast, can differentiate between the stimulatory or blocking activity of TSH-R-Ab which provides clinically useful information that can inform the management of patients with AITD. The clinical use of TSH-R-Ab bioassays, however, has been limited to-date by their inherent complexity and long turn-around-time. Recent advances in biosensors have been applied to the development of TSH-R-Ab bioassays that are rapid and simple to perform. We now are entering an era in which bioassays for TSH-R-Ab can be measured routinely by virtually any clinical laboratory.
期刊介绍:
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism is a serial publication that integrates the latest original research findings into evidence-based review articles. These articles aim to address key clinical issues related to diagnosis, treatment, and patient management.
Each issue adopts a problem-oriented approach, focusing on key questions and clearly outlining what is known while identifying areas for future research. Practical management strategies are described to facilitate application to individual patients. The series targets physicians in practice or training.
