Canine thyroglobulin (cTg) has been isolated and purified. It has similar electrophoretic patterns as Tg from other mammalian species. The main fraction had a MW of 660,000, whereas also fractions of a MW of approximately 1,300,000 (dimer) and 330,000 (subunit) were present. The iodine content was 0.8 to 1.0% (w/w). cTg did not cross-react with antibodies against human Tg to a degree that would allow the use of a radioimmunoassay for human Tg for the determination of cTg in serum or plasma. Therefore a polyclonal antiserum was raised against cTg and a homologous radioimmunoassay was developed, which was sensitive (0.4 micrograms/l) and specific (cross-reactivity in cTg assay of human Tg, goat Tg, T4, T3, and DIT less than 0.01%). Plasma Tg levels in normal dogs of both sexes and aged 3-15 years amounted to 192 +/- 73 micrograms/l (mean +/- SD, n = 30). There was no relation between plasma Tg and T4 levels.
犬甲状腺球蛋白(cTg)已被分离和纯化。它具有与其他哺乳动物物种的甲状腺球蛋白(Tg)相似的电泳图谱。主要组分的分子量为660,000,同时也存在分子量约为1,300,000(二聚体)和330,000(亚基)的组分。碘含量为0.8至1.0%(w/w)。cTg与抗人Tg抗体的交叉反应程度不允许使用人Tg放射免疫测定法来测定血清或血浆中的cTg。因此,制备了抗cTg的多克隆抗血清并开发了同源放射免疫测定法,该方法灵敏(0.4微克/升)且特异(人Tg、山羊Tg、T4、T3和二碘酪氨酸在cTg测定中的交叉反应率小于0.01%)。3至15岁的正常雌雄犬血浆Tg水平为192±73微克/升(平均值±标准差,n = 30)。血浆Tg与T4水平之间无关联。
