Reactivity of carbimazole-dependent antibodies with platelets and endothelial cells.

Carbimazole-dependent antibodies were analyzed in MAIPA assay with endothelial cells (EC) or platelets (Plts) either in the presence (solid bars) or in the absence (open bars) of carbimazole by using mab Gi18 as capture antibody. Serum was also tested after absorption with endothelial cells (+EC) or platelets (+Plts) in the presence of carbimazole. O.D. = optical density.
