Anti-thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibodies determined by second-generation assay

Background: The aim of our study was to determine the frequency of anti-thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor antibodies (TRAb) in Tunisian patients with Graves' disease (GD) and to compare the validity of TRAb to that of thyroperoxidase (TPO-Ab) and thyroglobulin antibodies (TG-Ab).

Methods: ELISA was used to determine the frequency of TRAb, TPO-Ab and TG-Ab in sera of 190 patients with GD...
