TSI, Human Thyroid Stimulator (HTS), Long-acting Thyroid Stimulator (LATS)
8 days
The IMMULITE 2000 TSI assay designed for the specific Semi- Quantitative detection of stimulating autoantibodies using a bridging format and human TSH receptor fragment chimeric recombinant proteins. The capture and detection proteins are designed to be specific for antibodies that stimulate the native receptor. This method provides a determination of thyroid stimulating autoantibodies that are specific to TSH receptors in human serum or plasma.
