Effect of Advanced Glycation End Products on Human Thyroglobulin’s Antigenicity as Identified by the Use of Sera from Patients with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are formed on proteins after exposure to high concentrations of glucose and modify protein’s immunogenicity. Herein, we investigated whether the modification of thyroglobulin (Tg) by AGEs influences its antigenicity and immunogenicity. Human Tg was incubated in...
