Canine thyroglobulin (cTg) was treated with trypsin at a ratio of trypsin to cTg of 1:100 (w/w). Tryptic peptides of cTg were analysed by Western immunoblotting for their reactivity to serum thyroglobulin autoantibodies (TgAA) from patients with TgAA-positive hypothyroidism and normal individuals. The sera of patients with TgAA-positive hypothyroidism reacted with several peptides: 43, 32.5 and 31 kDa; the sera of normal individuals did not bind these tryptic peptides. Some of the TgAA-positive sera of patients reacted with 25 kDa peptide in addition to three tryptic peptides above. This experiment was the first report about antigenic epitopes of cTg. These small tryptic peptides recognized by TgAA may be related with the induction of TgAA and may be useful as markers for autoimmune thyroid diseases in dog.
