Antigenic structure remains a major focus in thyroid immunology. The genes for three major thyroid antigens--thyroglobulin, thyroid peroxidase and the thyrotropin receptor--were sequenced in the late 1980's, and epitopes for antibody and T cells have been reported within the last year.

Autoimmune Thyroid Disorders [PDF]
Thyroid autoimmunity, as reflected by the presence in serum of autoantibodies directed against the thyroid autoantigens thyroglobulin (Tg) and thyroid peroxidase (TPO), is present in >10% of the US population over 12 years of age [1] and is the most common cause of endocrine dysfunction in iodine-sufficient populations [2].

Expression of thyroglobulin on follicular dendritic cells of thyroid mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma [PDF]
Reportedly, thyroid mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is closely associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. However, it remains unknown which antigen is closely associated with thyroid MALT lymphoma.

Thyroid ultrasonography reporting: consensus of Italian Thyroid Association (AIT), Italian Society of Endocrinology (SIE), Italian Society of Ultrasonography in Medicine and Biology (SIUMB) and Ultrasound Chapter of Italian Society of Medical Radiology (SIRM) [PDF]
Thyroid ultrasonography (US) is the gold standard for thyroid imaging and its widespread use is due to an optimal spatial resolution for superficial anatomic structures, a low cost and the lack of health risks.

Lymphoid Interstitial Pneumonia Associated With Hashimoto Thyroid Disease
Lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP) refers to the diffuse infiltration and accumulation of lymphocytes within the alveolar interstitium and may be associated with multiple autoimmune diseases, most notably Sjögren syndrome.

Risk factors associated with the occurrence of autoimmune diseases in adult coeliac patients [PDF]
Objectives. Autoimmune diseases (AD) may be associated with coeliac disease (CD), but specific risk factors have been poorly investigated. The aim of this study was to assess the spectrum of AD and its specific risk factors associated in a series of ...

Differential expression profile of CXCR3 splicing variants is associated with thyroid neoplasia. Potential role in papillary thyroid carcinoma oncogenesis? [PDF]
Indexación: Scopus.Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most prevalent endocrine neoplasia. The increased incidence of PTC in patients with thyroiditis and the frequent immune infiltrate found in PTC suggest that inflammation might be a risk factor for ...
