Passive Hemagglutination for Detection of Autoantibodies against Thyroglobulin in Dogs

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 28, pages 117–119 (1987)Cite this article

Abstract

Primary hypothyroidism in dogs is mainly caused by autoimmune thyroiditis or idiopathic follicular atrophy of the thyroid gland (Gosselin et al. 1982). Serologically, autoimmune thyroiditis can be diagnosed by detection of autoantibodies against thyroid antigens in hypothyroid dogs (Mizejewski et al. 1971, Gosselin et al. 1980). Passive hemagglutination test (PHT) has been the serological test, most widly used for detection of antibodies (Mizejewski et al. 1971, Gosselin et al. 1982, Vollset & Larsen 1987).
