Severe lymphoid thyroiditis and associated hypothyroidism occurred in all of 7 male and 4 female F(7) derivatives (seventh generation) of rats immunized in each generation against Group A streptococci. This evidence of thyroiditis produced by immunization against a nonthyroidal antigen suggests that some cases of Hashimoto's thyroiditis in humans may result from nonspecific immune responses.
在每一代都针对A组链球菌进行免疫的大鼠的7只雄性和4只雌性F(7) 代(第七代)后代中,均出现了严重的淋巴细胞性甲状腺炎及相关的甲状腺功能减退。这种由针对非甲状腺抗原的免疫接种所产生的甲状腺炎证据表明,人类的某些桥本甲状腺炎病例可能是由非特异性免疫反应所致。
