Prior to use, inspect vial for the presence of any precipitate or other unusual physical properties. These can indicate that the antibody has degraded and is no longer suitable for patient samples. Please run positive and negative controls simultaneously with all patient samples to account and control for errors in laboratory procedure. Use of methods or materials not recommended by enQuire Bio including change to dilution range and detection system should be routinely validated by the user.
Thyroid Peroxidase Information for Pathologists
Summary:
Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is an enzyme involved in TH synthesis. It is expressed on the apical surface of thyroid folliular cells.
Common Uses By Pathologists:
Malignant thyroid tumors exhibit an anomaly in TPO resulting in lower affinity for anti-TPO. TPO staining may help differentiate between benign and malignant thyroid tumors. TPO staining is also useful for classification of solitary cold thyroid nodules in FNA cytology samples.

General Description of Thyroid Peroxidase . | |
Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is a transmembrane protein of 107kDa containing a heme prosthetic group. It is present as a dimer on the apical surface of thyroid follicular cells. TPO is the primary enzyme involved in thyroid hormone synthesis. Malignant thyroid tumors exhibit an anomaly in TPO resulting in lower affinity for anti-TPO. This antibody may aid in the differentiation between benign and malignant thyroid tumors. |
