Multiplexed immunoassay of thyroglobulin autoantibodies in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma

Thyroglobulin (Tg) antibodies (TgAb) screening is recommended in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) to validate Tg measurements. We compared a new multiplexed and 2 conventional TgAb immunoassays in patients with DTC and healthy controls.
