All major lymphoid organs from animals of the Obese strain (OS) of chickens which develop a spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis with circulating thyroglobulin autoantibodies (Tg-AAb) were investigated for Tg-AAb producing cells using the immunofluorescence method (IF). No Tg-binding cells could be detected in spleen, bursa. Harderian glands, thymus, coecal tonsils or bone marrow. The infiltrated thyroid gland was shown to be the only site of Tg-AAb production detectable by IF.
对患自发性自身免疫性甲状腺炎且伴有循环甲状腺球蛋白自身抗体(Tg-AAb)的肥胖品系(OS)鸡的所有主要淋巴器官,采用免疫荧光法(IF)研究产生Tg-AAb的细胞。在脾脏、法氏囊、哈德氏腺、胸腺、盲肠扁桃体或骨髓中未检测到结合Tg的细胞。经IF检测,浸润的甲状腺是唯一可检测到Tg-AAb产生的部位。
