METHOD FOR CARRYING OUT THE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTIC DETERMINATION OF AUTOANTIBODIES FORMED AGAINST THE TSH RECEPTOR IN A SERUM SAMPLE OR PLASMA SAMPLE OF A PATIENT

摘要

The invention relates to a differential diagnostic determination method for anti-TSH receptor autoantibodies (TSHR-Auto-Ab) The inventive method is characterized in that the quantity of at least one type of TSHR-Auto-Ab selected from: (i) stimulating (TSAb) and/or; (ii) blocking (TBAb) and/or; (iii) non-pathogenic (TNAb) having an either stimulating or blocking effect, is selectively determined in a sample.
