Animals were immunized with recombinant human thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor expressed in. E. coli.
Spleen cells were fused with Sp2/0 mouse myeloma cells.
The antibody recognizes the N-terminal extracellular domain (amino acids domain 19-246), alpha subunit of the human thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor (hormone binding unit).
The TSHR-T5-51 (ATCC CRL-2680), TSHR-R5T-44 (ATCC CRL-2681) and TSHR-T5U-317 (ATCC CRL-2682) antibodies are additive. They recognize different epitopes. TSHR-T5U-317 cross reacts with the rodent TSHR.
The antibodies do not interfere with hormone binding and have no effect on the receptor mediated adenylate cyclase activity.
The antibodies can be used in Western Blot, ELISA, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry assays of the human TSH receptor.
