| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study clarified that human pituitary glands were better than rat as substrate to find anti-pituitary antibodies. We also clarified the presence of specific autoantibodies against pituitary glands in IgG4-related hypophysitis (IgG4-RH). These findings lead to establish a novel biomaker for IgG4-RH.
