Figure 5From: Overexpression of BID in thyroids of transgenic mice increases sensitivity to iodine-induced autoimmune thyroiditis Elevation of serum thyroid autoantibody anti-Tg in Tg-BID transgenic CBA/J mice treated with iodine. Sera were collected from the mice before iodine administration (pre-treatment), 4 weeks after iodine administration and 8 weeks after iodine administration. Anti-Tg antibody was measured by solid-phase ELISA and results were expressed as OD 405 ± SD of 1:200 dilution of serum from ten individual mice per group.Back to article page
