Resumo em Inglês
Thyroglobulin antibodies in the sera from 31 patients with a variety of disorders were
studied by isoelectric focusing. Only one gave a spectrotype indicative of a monoclonal
response, the other 30 giving spectrotypes characteristic of polyclonal responses. There
was evidence of clonal dominance in some of the sera and each gave a different
spectrotype. Light chains were prepared from five thyroglobulin antibodies purified by
affinity chromatography. There was no restriction in the spectrotypes when compared
with light chains prepared from normal immunoglobulin.
