Abstract：
:Thyroglobulin (Tg) is cleaved into several peptides during thyroid hormone synthesis, an oxidative process. P40, an iodinated C-terminal peptide from human Tg, has a molecular weight of about 40 kDa and contains two hormonogenic sites. P40 is the smallest peptide that is still recognized by monoclonal antibodies from mice immunized with human Tg directed against its immunodominant region. Since P40 also contains several T-cell epitopes, it is a good candidate for studying the primary events involved in the process of hormone synthesis leading to thyroid autoimmunity. The present results show that P40 is recognized by Tg antibodies from patients with thyroid disorders and induces Tg antibodies in CBA mice. P40 may therefore be involved in the autoimmune process, thus providing a useful tool for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
