| Research Abstract |
Thymoglobulin (Tg) is produced by the thyroid with a molecular mass of 660,000 Dalton and a carbohydrate content of approximately 10%. Traditionally, the follow-up of differentiated thyroid carcinoma by measured serum Thymoglobulin. However, the concentration of thymoglobulin measured by immunoassay is greatly affected by presence of anti-Tg autoantiboies in sera.
We developed of new diagnostic method for clinical utility on thyroid carcinoma by chemical assay using LCA lectin(LCA reactive Tg method). The study was conducted on 103 serum samples form healthily volunteers, 159 patients with benign thyroid tumor, 170 patients with thyroid carcinoma.
The values of LCA reactive Tg method in patients with thyroid carcinoma was significantly lower than in patients those with benign thyroid tumor with serum Tg. The values of LCA reactive Tg method in serum may be useful for distinguishing between thyroid carcinoma and benign thyroid tumor.
